Luke 16:1-12

CAB(i) 1 He also said to His disciples: "There was a certain rich man who had a manager, and this man was accused to him as wasting his possessions. 2 And calling him, he said to him, 'What is this I hear about you? Render an account of your management, for you can no longer be manager.' 3 "Then the manager said within himself, 'What shall I do? For my master is taking the management away from me. I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg. 4 I know what I will do, so that whenever I am removed from the management, they will receive me into their houses.' 5 And having summoned each one of his master's debtors to him, he said to the first, 'How much do you owe my master?' 6 And he said, 'A hundred baths of olive oil.' So he said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.' 7 Then he said to another, 'And how much do you owe?' So he said, 'A hundred measures of wheat.' And he said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.' 8 So the master praised the unrighteous manager because he had dealt shrewdly. For the sons of this age are shrewder in their own generation than the sons of light. 9 And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by the mammon of unrighteousness, so that whenever you fail, they may receive you into the eternal dwellings. 10 He that is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he that is unjust in what is least is also unjust in much. 11 Therefore if you were not faithful with the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you what is genuine? 12 And if you were not faithful in what belongs to another, who will give to you what is yours?
