Luke 16:1 - 13
16:1 -
And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and
the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.
16:2 -
And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of
thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.
16:3 -
Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the
stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
16:4 -
I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me
into their houses.
16:5 -
So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much
owest thou unto my lord?
16:6 -
And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down
quickly, and write fifty.
16:7 -
Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of
wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.
16:8 -
And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of
this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
16:9 -
And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that,
when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
16:10 -
He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least
is unjust also in much.
16:11 -
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your
trust the true riches?
16:12 -
And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which
is your own?
16:13 -
No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else
he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
