Luke 16:1-13 And he sayde also vnto his disciples. Ther was a certayn ryche man, whichhad a stewarde, and the same was accused vnto hym, that he had wasted hys goodes.

Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And he sayde also vnto his disciples. Ther was a certayn ryche man, whichhad a stewarde, and the same was accused vnto hym, that he had wasted hys goodes. ² And he called him, and sayde vnto him: How is it, that I heare thys of the? Geue acomptes of thy stewardshype: For thou mayste be no longer steward. ³ The stewarde sayde with in him selfe: what shall I do? for my Master taketh awaye from me the stewardeshypp. I cannot dygge, and to begge I am ashamed. ⁴ I wote what to do, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they maye receaue me into their houses. ⁵ So whan he had called all hys masters detters together, he sayde vnto the fyrst: how moch owest thou vnto my master? ⁶ And he sayd: an hundred tonnes of oyle. And he sayde vnto him: take thy byll, & syt doune quyckly and wryte fyftye. ⁷ Then sayd he to another: how moch owest thou? And he sayde: an hondred quarters of wheate. He sayde vnto him. Take thy byll, and wryte foure scoore. ⁸ And the Lorde commended the vniust stewarde, because he had done wysly. For the chyldren of this worlde are in theyr nacion, wyser then the chyldren of lyght. ⁹ And I saye vnto you: make you frendes of the vnryghteous mammon, that when ye shall haue nede they may receaue you into euerlastyng habitacyons. ¹⁰ He that is faythfull in that which is least, is faythfull also in moch. And he that is vnryghteous in the least: is vnryghteous also in moch. ¹¹ So then, yf ye haue not ben faythfull in the vnryghteous mammon, who wyll beleue you in that which is true? ¹² And yf ye haue not bene faythfull in another mannes busynes, who shal geue you that which is your awne? ¹³ No seruaunt can serue two masters: for ether he shall hate the one, and loue the other: or els he shall leane to the one, & despyse the other. Ye cannot serue God & mammon.
