Luke 16:1-12 And he went on to say, unto his disciples also,––There was, a certain rich man, who had a steward, and, the same, was accused to him as squandering his goods.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And he went on to say, unto his disciples also,––There was, a certain rich man, who had a steward, and, the same, was accused to him as squandering his goods. ² And, accosting him, he said unto him––What is this I hear of thee? Render the account of thy stewardship, for thou canst no longer be steward. ³ And the steward said within himself––What shall I do, because my lord taketh away the stewardship from me? Dig, I cannot: to beg, I am ashamed. ⁴ I know what I will do, that, when I am removed out of the stewardship, they may welcome me into their own houses. ⁵ And, calling unto him each one of the debtors of his own lord, he was saying unto the first,––How much owest thou my lord? ⁶ And, he, said––A hundred baths of oil. And, he, said unto him––Kindly take thine accounts, and, sitting down, make haste and write––Fifty! ⁷ After that, unto another, he said––And how much owest, thou? And, he, said––A hundred homers of wheat. He saith unto him––Kindly take thine accounts, and write––Eighty! ⁸ And the lord praised the unrighteous steward, in that with forethought he acted:––Because, the sons of this age, have more forethought than the sons of light, respecting their own generation. ⁹ And, I, unto you, say––For yourselves, make ye friends, with the unjust Riches, in order that, as soon as it shall fail, they may welcome you into the age–abiding tents. ¹⁰ The faithful in least, in much also, is, faithful, and, he that in least is unrighteous, in much also, is, unrighteous. ¹¹ If therefore, in the unjust Riches ye proved unfaithful, the true, who, unto you, will entrust? ¹² And, if, in what was another’s, ye proved unfaithful, your own, who will give unto you?
