Luke 16:2-13 And he called him, and sayde vnto him: How is it, that I heare this of the? geue acomptes of yi stewardshipe, for thou mayest be no longer stewarde.

Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ² And he called him, and sayde vnto him: How is it, that I heare this of the? geue acomptes of yi stewardshipe, for thou mayest be no longer stewarde. ³ The stewarde sayde within himself: What shal I do? My lorde wil take awaye the stewardshipe fro me. I ca not dygge, and to begg I am ashamed. ⁴ I wote what I wil do, that wha I am put out of the stewardshipe, they maye receaue me in to their houses. ⁵ And he called vnto hi all his lordes detters, and sayde vnto the first: How moch owest thou vnto my lorde? ⁶ He sayde: an hundreth tonnes of oyle. And he sayde: Take yi byll, syt downe quyckly, & wryte fiftie. ⁷ Then sayde he vnto another: How moch owest thou? He sayde: an hundreth quarters of wheate. And he sayde vnto him: Take thy byll, and wryte foure score. ⁸ And the lorde comended the vnrighteous stewarde, because he had done wysely. For the children of this worlde are in their kynde wyser, the the children of light. ⁹ And I saye vnto you: Make you frendes with the vnrighteous Mammon, yt whan ye shal haue nede, they maye receaue you in to euerlastinge Tabernacles. ¹⁰ He that is faithfull in the least, is faithfull also in moch: and he that is vnrighteous in the least, is vnrighteous also in moch. ¹¹ Yf ye then haue not bene faithfull in the vnrighteous Mammon, who wyll beleue you in that which is true? ¹² And yf ye haue not bene faithfull in anothers mans busynesse, who wil geue you that which is youre awne? ¹³ No seruaunt can serue two masters: for either he shal hate the one, and loue ye other: or els he shal leane to the one, and despyse the other. Ye can not serue God and Mammon.
