- 16:1
And he
said
also
unto
his
disciples, There
was a
certain
rich
man,
which
had a
steward;
and the
same was
accused unto
him
that he had
wasted
his
goods.
|
- 16:2
And he
called
him, and
said unto
him,
How is it that I
hear
this
of
thee?
give an
account of
thy
stewardship;
for thou mayest
be
no
longer
steward.
|
- 16:3
Then the
steward
said
within
himself,
What shall I
do ?
for
my
lord taketh
away
from
me the
stewardship: I
cannot
*
dig; to
beg I am
ashamed.
|
- 16:4 I am
resolved
what to
do,
that,
when I am put
out of the
stewardship, they may
receive
me
into
their
houses.
|

thou unto

And how
much
owest
thou?

thy
bill,

lord
commended the
unjust
steward,
because he had

children of
this
world
are
in
their
generation
wiser
than the
children of
light.
|
- 16:9 And
I
say unto
you,
Make to
yourselves
friends
of the
mammon of
unrighteousness;
that,
when ye
fail, they may
receive
you
into
everlasting
habitations.

faithful
in that which is
least
is
faithful
also
in
much:

in the
least
is
unjust
also
in
much.
|
- 16:11
If
therefore ye
have
not
been
faithful
in the
unrighteous
mammon,

commit to
your
trust the
true riches?

And
if ye
have
not
been
faithful
in that which is another
man's,
who shall
give
you that which is your
own?

No
servant
can
serve
two
masters:
for
either he will
hate the
one,
and
love the
other; or

hold to the
one,
and
despise the
other. Ye
cannot
*
serve
God
and
mammon.

Ye
are they which
justify
yourselves
before

knoweth
your
hearts:

esteemed
among
men
is
abomination in the
sight of
God.

until

presseth
into

beside
all
this,
between
us
and
