Give the account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward.<br \/>\nLuk 16:3  And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, for my lord is taking away the stewardship from me? I am not able to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.<br \/>\nLuk 16:4  I know what I will do, that when I am removed from the stewardship, they will receive me into their houses.<br \/>\nLuk 16:5  And having called to him each one of the debtors of his lord, he said to the first, How much do you owe my lord?<br \/>\nLuk 16:6  And he said, A hundred baths of oil. And he said to him, Take your statements and sitting quickly write fifty.<br \/>\nLuk 16:7  Then he said to another, And you, how much do you owe? And he said, a hundred cors of wheat. And he said to him, Take your statement and write eighty.<br \/>\nLuk 16:8  And the lord praised the unrighteous steward, because he acted prudently. For the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of light themselves are in their generation.<br \/>\nLuk 16:9  And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends by the unrighteous mammon, that when it fails they may take you into the eternal dwellings.<br \/>\nLuk 16:10  He faithful in the least is also faithful in much. And he unrighteous in the least is also unrighteous in much.<br \/>\nLuk 16:11  Then if you were not faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust the true to you?<br \/>\nLuk 16:12  And if you were not faithful in that of another, who will give to you that which is yours?<br \/>\nLuk 16:13  No servant is able to serve two lords; for either he will hate the one, and he will love the other; or he will cling to one, and he will despise the other. You are unable to serve God and mammon.<br \/>\nLuk 16:14  And being lovers of money, the Pharisees also heard all these things; and they derided Him.<br \/>\nLuk 16:15  And He said to them, You are those justifying yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts; for the thing highly prized among men is a hateful thing before God.<br \/>\nLuk 16:16  The Law and the Prophets were until John; from then the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is pressing into it.<br \/>\nLuk 16:17  But it is easier for the heaven and the earth to pass away than one point of the Law to fail.<br \/>\nLuk 16:18  Everyone putting away his wife, and marrying another, commits adultery. And everyone marrying her who has been put away from a husband commits adultery.<br \/>\nLuk 16:19  And there was a certain rich man; and he was accustomed to don a purple robe and fine linen, making merry in luxury day by day.<br \/>\nLuk 16:20  And there was a certain poor one named Lazarus who had been laid at his doorway, having been ulcerated,<br \/>\nLuk 16:21  and longing to be filled from the crumbs that were falling from the table of the rich one. But coming, even the dogs licked his sores.<br \/>\nLuk 16:22  And it happened, the poor one died and was carried away by the angels into the bosom of Abraham. And the rich one also died and was buried.<br \/>\nLuk 16:23  And being in torments in hell, lifting up his eyes, he sees Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom.<br \/>\nLuk 16:24  And calling he said, Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering in this flame.<br \/>\nLuk 16:25  But Abraham said, Child, remember that you fully received your good things in your lifetime, and Lazarus likewise the bad things. But now he is comforted, and you are suffering.<br \/>\nLuk 16:26  And besides all these things, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that those desiring to pass from here to you are not able, nor can they pass from there to us.<br \/>\nLuk 16:27  And he said, Then I beg you, father, that you send him to my father&#8217;s house;<br \/>\nLuk 16:28  (for I have five brothers, so that he may witness to them, that they not also come to this place of torment).<br \/>\nLuk 16:29  Abraham said to him, They have Moses and the Prophets, let them hear them.<br \/>\nLuk 16:30  But he said, No, father Abraham, but if one should go from the dead to them, they will repent.<br \/>\nLuk 16:31  And he said to him, If they will not hear Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if one from the dead should rise. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Luk 16:1 And He also said to His disciples, A certain man was rich; and he had a steward, and this one was accused to him as wasting his goods.
