Luke 16: 1-13
\n1 Then Jesus said to the disciples, \u201cThere was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was squandering his property. 2 So he summoned him and said to him, \u2018What is this that I hear about you? Give me an accounting of your management, because you cannot be my manager any longer.\u2019 3 Then the manager said to himself, \u2018What will I do, now that my master is taking the position away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. 4 I have decided what to do so that, when I am dismissed as manager, people may welcome me into their homes.\u2019 5 So, summoning his master’s debtors one by one, he asked the first, \u2018How much do you owe my master?\u2019 6 He answered, \u2018A hundred jugs of olive oil.\u2019 He said to him, \u2018Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it fifty.\u2019 7 Then he asked another, \u2018And how much do you owe?\u2019 He replied, \u2018A hundred containers of wheat.\u2019 He said to him, \u2018Take your bill and make it eighty.\u2019 8 And his master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the children of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than are the children of light. 9 And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of dishonest wealth so that when it is gone, they may welcome you into the eternal homes.
\n10 \u201cWhoever is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and whoever is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much. 11 If then you have not been faithful with the dishonest wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? 12 And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own? 13 No slave can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.\u201d
