| Luk 16:1 Now He was also saying to the disciples, "There was a rich man who had a manager, and this manager was reported to him as squandering his possessions. Luk 16:2 And he called him and said to him, 'What is this I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.' Luk 16:3 The manager said to himself, 'What shall I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig; I am ashamed to beg. Luk 16:4 I know what I shall do, so that when I am removed from the management people will welcome me into their homes.' Luk 16:5 And he summoned each one of his master's debtors, and he began saying to the first, 'How much do you owe my master?' Luk 16:6 And he said, 'A hundred measures of oil.' And he said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.' Luk 16:7 Then he said to another, 'And how much do you owe?' And he said, 'A hundred measures of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.' Luk 16:8 And his master praised the unrighteous manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the sons of this age are more shrewd in relation to their own kind than the sons of light. Luk 16:9 And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of the wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, they will receive you into the eternal dwellings. Luk 16:10 "He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much. Luk 16:11 Therefore if you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you? Luk 16:12 And if you have not been faithful in the use of that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? Luk 16:13 No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth." Luk 16:14 Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were listening to all these things and were scoffing at Him. Luk 16:15 And He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men is detestable in the sight of God. Luk 16:16 "The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John; since that time the gospel of the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it. Luk 16:17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one stroke of a letter of the Law to fail. Luk 16:18 "Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery. Luk 16:19 "Now there was a rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen, joyously living in splendor every day. Luk 16:20 And a poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores, Luk 16:21 and longing to be fed with the crumbs which were falling from the rich man's table; besides, even the dogs were coming and licking his sores. Luk 16:22 Now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried. Luk 16:23 In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom. Luk 16:24 And he cried out and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.' Luk 16:25 But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony. Luk 16:26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you will not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us.' Luk 16:27 And he said, 'Then I beg you, father, that you send him to my father's house-- Luk 16:28 for I have five brothers--in order that he may warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.' Luk 16:29 But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.' Luk 16:30 But he said, 'No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent!' Luk 16:31 But he said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.'"

| Luk 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. | Luk 16:3 The manager said to himself, 'What shall I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig; I am ashamed to beg. | Luk 16:3 εἶπεν δὲ ἐν ἑαυτῶ ὁ οἰκονόμος, τί ποιήσω, ὅτι ὁ κύριός μου ἀφαιρεῖται τὴν οἰκονομίαν ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ; σκάπτειν οὐκ ἰσχύω, ἐπαιτεῖν αἰσχύνομαι. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Luk 16:4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. | Luk 16:4 I know what I shall do, so that when I am removed from the management people will welcome me into their homes.' | Luk 16:4 ἔγνων τί ποιήσω, ἵνα ὅταν μετασταθῶ ἐκ τῆς οἰκονομίας δέξωνταί με εἰς τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Luk 16:5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord? | Luk 16:5 And he summoned each one of his master's debtors, and he began saying to the first, 'How much do you owe my master?' | Luk 16:5 καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος ἕνα ἕκαστον τῶν χρεοφειλετῶν τοῦ κυρίου ἑαυτοῦ ἔλεγεν τῶ πρώτῳ, πόσον ὀφείλεις τῶ κυρίῳ μου; | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

He said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.' | Luk 16:7 ἔπειτα ἑτέρῳ εἶπεν, σὺ δὲ πόσον ὀφείλεις; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ἑκατὸν κόρους σίτου. λέγει αὐτῶ, δέξαι σου τὰ γράμματα καὶ γράψον ὀγδοήκοντα. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Luk 16:8 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. | Luk 16:8 And his master praised the unrighteous manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the sons of this age are more shrewd in relation to their own kind than the sons of light. | Luk 16:8 καὶ ἐπῄνεσεν ὁ κύριος τὸν οἰκονόμον τῆς ἀδικίας ὅτι φρονίμως ἐποίησεν· ὅτι οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου φρονιμώτεροι ὑπὲρ τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ φωτὸς εἰς τὴν γενεὰν τὴν ἑαυτῶν εἰσιν. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Luk 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. | Luk 16:9 And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of the wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, they will receive you into the eternal dwellings. | Luk 16:9 καὶ ἐγὼ ὑμῖν λέγω, ἑαυτοῖς ποιήσατε φίλους ἐκ τοῦ μαμωνᾶ τῆς ἀδικίας, ἵνα ὅταν ἐκλίπῃ δέξωνται ὑμᾶς εἰς τὰς αἰωνίους σκηνάς. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Luk 16:11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? | Luk 16:11 Therefore if you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you? | Luk 16:11 εἰ οὗν ἐν τῶ ἀδίκῳ μαμωνᾷ πιστοὶ οὐκ ἐγένεσθε, τὸ ἀληθινὸν τίς ὑμῖν πιστεύσει; | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Luk 16:12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own? | Luk 16:12 And if you have not been faithful in the use of that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? | Luk 16:12 καὶ εἰ ἐν τῶ ἀλλοτρίῳ πιστοὶ οὐκ ἐγένεσθε, τὸ ὑμέτερον τίς ὑμῖν δώσει; | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Luk 16:14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. | Luk 16:14 Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were listening to all these things and were scoffing at Him. | Luk 16:14 ἤκουον δὲ ταῦτα πάντα οἱ φαρισαῖοι φιλάργυροι ὑπάρχοντες, καὶ ἐξεμυκτήριζον αὐτόν. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
