Luke 16:1-13 And He also spoke to His disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he was slandered to him as wasting his goods.

Godbey⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And He also spoke to His disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he was slandered to him as wasting his goods. ² And having called him, he said to him, What is this which I hear concerning thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou art not able to be steward any longer. ³ And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, because my lord takes away my stewardship from me? I am not able to dig; I am ashamed to beg. ⁴ I know what I shall do, in order that when I am deposed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. ⁵ And calling each one of the debtors of his lord, he said to the first, How much do you owe my lord? ⁶ And he said; A hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take your accounts, and sitting down quickly write fifty. ⁷ Then he said to another one, And how much do you owe? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. He says to him, Take your account, and write fourscore. ⁸ And the lord praised the steward of unrighteousness because he acted shrewdly: because the sons of this age are wiser in their generation than the sons of the light. ⁹ And I say unto you, Make unto yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness, in order that, when it may fail, they may receive you into eternal tabernacles. ¹⁰ He that is faithful in the least is also faithful in much: and he that is unrighteous in the least is unrighteous in much. ¹¹ If therefore you were not faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will intrust to you the true? ¹² If you were not faithful in the interest of another, who will give you your own? ¹³ No servant is able to serve two masters: for he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will cleave to the one, and despise the other. You are not able to serve God and mammon.
