Luke 16:1-13 And he also said to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward, and charges were brought to him that the steward was wasting his goods.

RKJNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And he also said to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward, and charges were brought to him that the steward was wasting his goods. ² And he called him, and said to him, What is this that I hear of you? give an account of your stewardship; for you may no longer be steward. ³ Then the steward said to himself, What shall I do? for my lord is taking away my stewardship: I am not strong enough to dig; and I am ashamed to beg. ⁴ I know what to do, so that when I am put out of the stewardship, people will receive me into their houses. ⁵ So he called in every one of his lord's debtors, and said to the first, How much do you owe to my lord? ⁶ And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take your bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. ⁷ Then he said to another, And how much do you owe? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he said to him, Take your bill, and write eighty. ⁸ And the lord commended the dishonest steward, because he had acted shrewdly: for the children of this world are more shrewd in dealing with own kind than are the children of light. ⁹ And I say to you, Make friends for yourselves using worldly wealth; that, when it fails, they may receive you into the eternal habitations. ¹⁰ He who is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he who is dishonest in the least is also dishonest in much. ¹¹ Therefore, if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches? ¹² And if you have not been faithful with that which is another man's, who shall give you possessions of your own? ¹³ No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
