CH. XVI. 1-13.
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.
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.
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.
4 I am resolved what to do,
that when I am put out of the
stewardship, they may receive
me into their houses.
5 So he called every one of
his lord’s debtors _unto him_,
and said unto the first, How
much owest thou unto my lord?
6 And he said, A hundred
measures of oil. And he said
unto him, Take thy bill, and
sit down quickly, and write
fifty.
7 Then said he to another, And
how much owest thou? And he
said, A hundred measures of
wheat. And he said unto him,
Take thy bill, and write
four-score.
8 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.
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.
10 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.
11 If therefore ye have not
been faithful in the
unrighteous mammon, who will
commit to your trust the true
_riches_?
12 And if ye have not been
faithful in that which is
another man’s, who shall give
you that which is 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. Ye cannot serve God and
mammon.
