Luke 16:2-13

Etheridge(i) 2 And his lord called him, and said to him, What is this that I hear of thee? give me the account of thy house-headship; for thou canst no longer be house-chief unto me. 3 And the house-chief said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh from me the house-headship. I cannot dig, and to beg I am ashamed. 4 I know what I will do, that when I shall be put out of the house-headship, they may receive me into their houses. 5 And he called one by one from the debtors of his lord, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord? 6 And he said to him, An hundred metres of oil. He saith to him, Take thy book, and sit down quickly, and write fifty metres. 7 And he said to another, And thou, how much owest thou to my lord? He saith to him, An hundred kureen* of wheat. He saith to him, Take thy book, and sit down, write eighty kureen. [* The Hebrew kor was about seventy-five gallons, five pints. ] 8 And praised our Lord the house-chief who was unjust, in that he had done wisely; for the sons of this world are wiser than the sons of light in this their generation. 9 Also I say unto you, Make to you friends from this wealth of unrighteousness, that, when perfect, they may receive you into the tabernacles of eternity. 10 Whoever in the little is faithful, in the great also is faithful; and he who in the little is unjust, in the great also is unjust. 11 If, therefore, in the wealth of unrighteousness you have not been faithful, the truth to you who will confide? 12 And if in that which is not yours you are not found faithful, your own who will give to you? 13 No man can serve two lords; for either the one he will hate, and the other he will love; or the one he will honour, and the other despise. You cannot serve Aloha and wealth.
