KJV_Strongs(i)
  1 G1161 And G3004 he said [G5707]   G2532 also G4314 unto G846 his G3101 disciples G2258 , There was [G5713]   G5100 a certain G4145 rich G444 man G3739 , which G2192 had [G5707]   G3623 a steward G2532 ; and G3778 the same G1225 was accused [G5681]   G846 unto him G5613 that G1287 he had wasted [G5723]   G846 his G5224 goods [G5723]  .
  2 G2532 And G5455 he called [G5660]   G846 him G2036 , and said [G5627]   G846 unto him G5101 , How G191 is it that I hear [G5719]   G5124 this G4012 of G4675 thee G591 ? give [G5628]   G3056 an account G4675 of thy G3622 stewardship G1063 ; for G1410 thou mayest be [G5695]   G3756 no G2089 longer G3621 steward [G5721]  .
  3 G1161 Then G3623 the steward G2036 said [G5627]   G1722 within G1438 himself G5101 , What G4160 shall I do [G5661]   G3754 ? for G3450 my G2962 lord G851 taketh away [G5731]   G575 from G1700 me G3622 the stewardship G3756 : I cannot G2480   [G5719]   G4626 dig [G5721]   G1871 ; to beg [G5721]   G153 I am ashamed [G5727]  .
  4 G1097 I am resolved [G5627]   G5101 what G4160 to do [G5692]   G2443 , that G3752 , when G3179 I am put out [G5686]   G3622 of the stewardship G1209 , they may receive [G5667]   G3165 me G1519 into G846 their G3624 houses.
  5 G2532 So G4341 he called [G5666]   G1538 every G1520 one G1438 of his G2962 lord's G5533 debtors G3004 unto him, and said [G5707]   G4413 unto the first G4214 , How much G3784 owest thou [G5719]   G3450 unto my G2962 lord?
  6 G1161 And G2036 he said [G5627]   G1540 , An hundred G943 measures G1637 of oil G2532 . And G2036 he said [G5627]   G846 unto him G1209 , Take [G5663]   G4675 thy G1121 bill G2532 , and G2523 sit down [G5660]   G5030 quickly G1125 , and write [G5657]   G4004 fifty.
  7 G1899 Then G2036 said he [G5627]   G2087 to another G1161 , And G4214 how much G3784 owest [G5719]   G4771 thou G1161 ? And G2036 he said [G5627]   G1540 , An hundred G2884 measures G4621 of wheat G2532 . And G3004 he said [G5719]   G846 unto him G1209 , Take [G5663]   G4675 thy G1121 bill G2532 , and G1125 write [G5657]   G3589 fourscore.
  8 G2532 And G2962 the lord G1867 commended [G5656]   G93 the unjust G3623 steward G3754 , because G4160 he had done [G5656]   G5430 wisely G3754 : for G5207 the children G5127 of this G165 world G1526 are [G5748]   G1519 in G1438 their G1074 generation G5429 wiser G5228 than G5207 the children G5457 of light.
  9 G2504 And I G3004 say [G5719]   G5213 unto you G4160 , Make [G5657]   G1438 to yourselves G5384 friends G1537 of G3126 the mammon G93 of unrighteousness G2443 ; that G3752 , when G1587 ye fail [G5632]   G1209 , they may receive [G5667]   G5209 you G1519 into G166 everlasting G4633 habitations.
  10 G4103 He that is faithful G1722 in G1646 that which is least G2076 is [G5748]   G4103 faithful G2532 also G1722 in G4183 much G2532 : and G94 he that is unjust G1722 in G1646 the least G2076 is [G5748]   G94 unjust G2532 also G1722 in G4183 much.
  11 G1487 If G3767 therefore G1096 ye have G3756 not G1096 been [G5633]   G4103 faithful G1722 in G94 the unrighteous G3126 mammon G5101 , who G4100 will commit G5213 to your G4100 trust [G5692]   G228 the true riches ?
  12 G2532 And G1487 if G1096 ye have G3756 not G1096 been [G5633]   G4103 faithful G1722 in G245 that which is another man's G5101 , who G1325 shall give [G5692]   G5213 you G5212 that which is your own?
  13 G3762 No G3610 servant G1410 can [G5736]   G1398 serve [G5721]   G1417 two G2962 masters G1063 : for G2228 either G3404 he will hate [G5692]   G1520 the one G2532 , and G25 love [G5692]   G2087 the other G2228 ; or else G472 he will hold [G5695]   G1520 to the one G2532 , and G2706 despise [G5692]   G2087 the other G3756 . Ye cannot G1410   [G5736]   G1398 serve [G5721]   G2316 God G2532 and G3126 mammon.
  14 G1161 And G5330 the Pharisees G2532 also G5225 , who were [G5723]   G5366 covetous G191 , heard [G5707]   G3956 all G5023 these things G2532 : and G1592 they derided [G5707]   G846 him.
  15 G2532 And G2036 he said [G5627]   G846 unto them G5210 , Ye G2075 are [G5748]   G1344 they which justify [G5723]   G1438 yourselves G1799 before G444 men G1161 ; but G2316 God G1097 knoweth [G5719]   G5216 your G2588 hearts G3754 : for G5308 that which is highly esteemed G1722 among G444 men G2076 is [G5748]   G946 abomination G1799 in the sight G2316 of God.
  16 G3551 The law G2532 and G4396 the prophets G2193 were until G2491 John G575 : since G5119 that time G932 the kingdom G2316 of God G2097 is preached [G5743]   G2532 , and G3956 every man G971 presseth [G5731]   G1519 into G846 it.
  17 G1161 And G2076 it is [G5748]   G2123 easier G3772 for heaven G2532 and G1093 earth G3928 to pass [G5629]   G2228 , than G3391 one G2762 tittle G3551 of the law G4098 to fail [G5629]  .
  18 G3956 Whosoever G630 putteth away [G5723]   G846 his G1135 wife G2532 , and G1060 marrieth [G5723]   G2087 another G3431 , committeth adultery [G5719]   G2532 : and G3956 whosoever G1060 marrieth [G5723]   G630 her that is put away [G5772]   G575 from G435 her husband G3431 committeth adultery [G5719]  .
  19 G1161   G2258 There was [G5713]   G5100 a certain G4145 rich G444 man G2532 , which G1737 was clothed [G5710]   G4209 in purple G2532 and G1040 fine linen G2165 , and fared [G5746]   G2988 sumptuously G2596 every G2250 day:
  20 G1161 And G2258 there was [G5713]   G5100 a certain G4434 beggar G3686 named G2976 Lazarus G3739 , which G906 was laid [G5718]   G4314 at G846 his G4440 gate G1669 , full of sores [G5772]  ,
  21 G2532 And G1937 desiring [G5723]   G5526 to be fed [G5683]   G575 with G5589 the crumbs G3588 which G4098 fell [G5723]   G575 from G4145 the rich man's G5132 table G235 : moreover G2532   G2965 the dogs G2064 came [G5740]   G621 and licked [G5707]   G846 his G1668 sores.
  22 G1161 And G1096 it came to pass [G5633]   G4434 , that the beggar G599 died [G5629]   G2532 , and G667 was carried [G5683]   G5259 by G32 the angels G1519 into G11 Abraham's G2859 bosom G4145 : the rich man G1161 also G2532   G599 died [G5627]   G2532 , and G2290 was buried [G5648]  ;
  23 G2532 And G1722 in G86 hell G1869 he lift up [G5660]   G846 his G3788 eyes G5225 , being [G5723]   G1722 in G931 torments G3708 , and seeth [G5719]   G11 Abraham G3113 afar G575 off G2532 , and G2976 Lazarus G1722 in G846 his G2859 bosom.
  24 G2532 And G846   G5455 he cried [G5660]   G2036 and said [G5627]   G3962 , Father G11 Abraham G1653 , have mercy [G5657]   G3165 on me G2532 , and G3992 send [G5657]   G2976 Lazarus G2443 , that G911 he may dip [G5661]   G206 the tip G846 of his G1147 finger G5204 in water G2532 , and G2711 cool [G5661]   G3450 my G1100 tongue G3754 ; for G3600 I am tormented [G5743]   G1722 in G5026 this G5395 flame.
  25 G1161 But G11 Abraham G2036 said [G5627]   G5043 , Son G3415 , remember [G5682]   G3754 that G4771 thou G1722 in G4675 thy G2222 lifetime G618 receivedst [G5627]   G4675 thy G18 good things G2532 , and G3668 likewise G2976 Lazarus G2556 evil things G1161 : but G3568 now G3592   G3870 he is comforted [G5743]   G1161 , and G4771 thou G3600 art tormented [G5743]  .
  26 G2532 And G1909 beside G3956 all G5125 this G3342 , between G2257 us G2532 and G5216 you G4741 there is G3173 a great G5490 gulf G4741 fixed [G5769]   G3704 : so that G2309 they which would [G5723]   G1224 pass [G5629]   G1782 from hence G4314 to G5209 you G3361 cannot G1410   [G5741]   G3366 ; neither G1276 can they pass [G5725]   G4314 to G2248 us G1564 , that would come from thence.
  27 G1161 Then G2036 he said [G5627]   G2065 , I pray [G5719]   G4571 thee G3767 therefore G3962 , father G2443 , that G3992 thou wouldest send [G5661]   G846 him G1519 to G3450 my G3962 father's G3624 house:
  28 G1063 For G2192 I have [G5719]   G4002 five G80 brethren G3704 ; that G1263 he may testify [G5741]   G846 unto them G3363 , lest G846 they G2532 also G2064 come [G5632]   G1519 into G5126 this G5117 place G931 of torment.
  29 G11 Abraham G3004 saith [G5719]   G846 unto him G2192 , They have [G5719]   G3475 Moses G2532 and G4396 the prophets G191 ; let them hear [G5657]   G846 them.
  30 G1161 And G2036 he said [G5627]   G3780 , Nay G3962 , father G11 Abraham G235 : but G1437 if G5100 one G4198 went [G5680]   G4314 unto G846 them G575 from G3498 the dead G3340 , they will repent [G5692]  .
  31 G1161 And G2036 he said [G5627]   G846 unto him G1487 , If G191 they hear [G5719]   G3756 not G3475 Moses G2532 and G4396 the prophets G3761 , neither G3982 will they be persuaded [G5701]   G1437 , though G5100 one G450 rose [G5632]   G1537 from G3498 the dead.
ERV(i) 1 And he said also unto the disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he was wasting his goods. 2 And he called him, and said unto him, What is this that I hear of thee? render the account of thy stewardship; for thou canst be no longer steward. 3 And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, seeing that my lord taketh away the stewardship from me? I have not strength to 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 And calling to him each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to 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 bond, 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. He saith unto him, Take thy bond, and write fourscore. 8 And his lord commended the unrighteous steward because he had done wisely: for the sons of this world are for their own generation wiser than the sons of the light. 9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends by means of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when it shall fail, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles. 10 He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much: and he that is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous 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’s, who will 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 one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 14 And the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things; and they scoffed at him. 15 And he said unto them, Ye are they that justify yourselves in the sight of men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God. 16 The law and the prophets [were] until John: from that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and every man entereth violently into it. 17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall. 18 Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth one that is put away from a husband committeth adultery. 19 Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day: 20 and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21 and desiring to be fed with the [crumbs] that fell from the rich man’s table; yea, even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: and the rich man also died, and was buried. 23 And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted, and thou art in anguish. 26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that they which would pass from hence to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from thence to us. 27 And he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house; 28 for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29 But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one go to them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rise from the dead.
