42:016:001 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.
42:016:002 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.
42:016:003 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.
42:016:004 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the
stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
42:016:005 So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and
said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
42:016:006 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him,
Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
42:016:007 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said,
An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy
bill, and write fourscore.
42:016:008 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done
wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation
wiser than the children of light.
42:016:009 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.
42:016:010 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in
much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in
much.
