Luke 16:2-13 Having, therefore, called him, he said, What is this that I hear of you? Render an account of your management, for you shall be steward no longer.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Having, therefore, called him, he said, What is this that I hear of you? Render an account of your management, for you shall be steward no longer. ³ And the steward said within himself, What shall I do? My master takes from me the stewardship; I can not dig, and am ashamed to beg. ⁴ I am resolved what to do, that when I am discarded, there may be some who will receive me into their houses. ⁵ Having, therefore, sent severally for all his master's debtors, he asked one, How much do you owe my master? ⁶ He answered, A hundred baths of oil. Take back your bill, said the steward, sit down directly, and write fifty. ⁷ Then he asked another, How much do you owe? He answered, A hundred homers of wheat. Take back your bill, said he, and write eighty. ⁸ The master commended the prudence of the unjust steward; for the children of this world are more prudent in conducting their affairs, than the children of light. ⁹ Therefore, I say to you, with the deceitful riches procure to yourself friends, who, after your discharge, may receive you into the eternal mansion. ¹⁰ Whoso is faithful in little is faithful also in much: and whoso is unjust in little, is unjust also in much. ¹¹ If, therefore, you have not been honest in the deceitful, who will entrust you with the true riches? ¹² And if you have been unfaithful managers for another, who will give you anything to manage for yourselves? ¹³ A servant can not serve two masters: for either he will hate one, and love the other; or, at least, will attend one, and neglect the other. You can not serve God and mammon.
