And{G1161} he said{G3004} also{G2532} unto{G4314} the{G846} disciples,{G3101} There was{G2258} a certain{G5100} rich{G4145} man,{G444} who{G3739} had{G2192} a steward;{G3623} and{G2532} the same{G3778} was accused{G1225} unto him{G846} that{G5613} he was wasting{G1287} his{G846} goods.{G5224}

And{G2532} he called{G5455} him,{G846} and{G2532} said{G2036} unto him,{G846} What is this{G5124} that I hear{G191} of{G4012} thee?{G4675} render{G591} the account{G3056} of thy{G4675} stewardship;{G3622} for{G1063} thou canst be{G1410} no{G3756} longer{G2089} steward.{G3621}

And{G1161} the steward{G3623} said{G2036} within{G1722} himself,{G1438} What{G5101} shall I do,{G4160} seeing{G3754} that my{G3450} lord{G2962} taketh away{G851} the stewardship{G3622} from{G575} me?{G1700} I have{G2480} not{G2480} strength to dig;{G4626} to beg{G1871} I am ashamed.{G153}

I am resolved{G1097} what{G5101} to do,{G4160} that,{G2443} when{G3752} I am put out{G3179} of the stewardship,{G3622} they may receive{G1209} me{G3165} into{G1519} their{G846} houses.{G3624}

And{G2532} calling{G4341} to him each{G1538} one{G1520} of his{G1438} lord's{G2962} debtors,{G5533} he said{G3004} to the first,{G4413} How much{G4214} owest thou{G3784} unto my{G3450} lord?{G2962}

And{G1161} he said,{G2036} A hundred{G1540} measures{G943} of oil.{G1637} And{G2532} he said{G2036} unto him,{G846} Take{G1209} thy{G4675} bond,{G1121} and{G2532} sit down{G2523} quickly{G5030} and write{G1125} fifty.{G4004}

Then{G1899} said he{G2036} to another,{G2087} And{G1161} how much{G4214} owest{G3784} thou?{G4771} And{G1161} he said,{G2036} A hundred{G1540} measures{G2884} of wheat.{G4621} He{G2532} saith{G3004} unto him,{G846} Take{G1209} thy{G4675} bond,{G1121} and{G2532} write{G1125} fourscore.{G3589}

And{G2532} his lord{G2962} commended{G1867} the unrighteous{G93} steward{G3623} because{G3754} he had done{G4160} wisely:{G5430} for{G3754} the sons{G5207} of this{G5127} world{G165} are{G1526} for{G3754} their{G1438} own generation{G1074} wiser{G5429} than{G5228} the sons{G5207} of the light.{G5457}

And I{G2504} say{G3004} unto you,{G5213} Make{G4160} to yourselves{G1438} friends{G5384} by{G1537} means of the mammon{G3126} of unrighteousness;{G93} that,{G2443} when{G3752} it shall fail,{G1587} they may receive{G1209} you{G5209} into{G1519} the eternal{G166} tabernacles.{G3126}

He that{G3588} is faithful{G4103} in{G1722} a very little{G1646} is faithful{G4103} also{G2532} in{G1722} much:{G4183} and{G2532} he that{G3588} is{G2076} unrighteous{G94} in{G1722} a very little{G1646} is{G2076} unrighteous{G94} also{G2532} in{G1722} much.{G4183}

If{G1487} therefore{G3767} ye have{G1096} not{G3756} been{G1096} faithful{G4103} in{G1722} the unrighteous{G94} mammon,{G3126} who{G5101} will commit{G4100} to your{G5213} trust{G4100} the true{G228} [riches]?

And{G2532} if{G1487} ye have{G1096} not{G3756} been{G1096} faithful{G4103} in{G1722} that which{G3588} is another's,{G245} who{G5101} will give{G1325} you{G5213} that which{G3588} is your own?{G5212}

No{G3762} servant{G3610} can{G1410} serve{G1398} two{G1417} masters:{G2962} for{G1063} either{G2228} he will hate{G3404} the one,{G1520} and{G2532} love{G25} the other;{G2087} or else{G2228} he will hold to{G472} one,{G1520} and{G2532} despise{G2706} the other.{G2087} Ye cannot{G1410} {G3756} serve{G1398} God{G2316} and{G2532} mammon.{G3126}

And{G1161} the Pharisees,{G5330} who{G2532} were{G5225} lovers of money,{G5366} heard{G191} all{G3956} these things;{G5023} and{G2532} they scoffed{G1592} at him.{G846}

And{G2532} he said{G2036} unto them,{G846} Ye{G5210} are{G2075} they that{G3588} justify{G1344} yourselves{G1438} in the sight{G1799} of men;{G444} but{G1161} God{G2316} knoweth{G1097} your{G5216} hearts:{G2588} for{G3754} that which{G3588} is exalted{G5308} among{G1722} men{G444} is{G2076} an abomination{G946} in the sight{G1799} of God.{G2316}

The law{G3551} and{G2532} the prophets{G4396} [were] until{G2193} John:{G2491} from{G575} that time{G5119} the gospel of the kingdom{G932} of God{G2316} is preached,{G2097} and{G2532} every man{G3956} entereth violently{G971} into{G1519} it.{G846}

But{G1161} it is{G2076} easier{G2123} for heaven{G3772} and{G2532} earth{G1093} to pass{G3928} away, than{G2228} for one{G1520} tittle{G2762} of the law{G3551} to fall.{G4098}

Every one{G3956} that putteth away{G630} his{G846} wife,{G1135} and{G2532} marrieth{G1060} another,{G2087} committeth adultery:{G3431} and{G2532} he that{G3956} marrieth one{G1060} that{G3588} is put away{G630} from{G575} a husband{G435} committeth adultery.{G3431}

Now there was{G2258} a certain{G5100} rich{G4145} man,{G444} and{G2532} he was clothed{G1737} in purple{G4209} and{G2532} fine linen,{G1040} faring{G2165} sumptuously{G2988} every{G2596} day:{G2250}

and{G1161} {G2258} a certain{G5100} beggar{G4434} named{G3686} Lazarus{G2976} was{G3739} laid{G906} at{G4314} his{G846} gate,{G4440} full of sores,{G1669}

and{G2532} desiring{G1937} to be fed{G5526} with{G575} the [crumbs]{G5589} that{G3588} fell{G4098} from{G575} the rich man's{G4145} table;{G5132} yea,{G235} even{G2532} the dogs{G2965} came{G2064} and licked{G621} his{G846} sores.{G1668}

And{G1161} it came to pass,{G1096} that the beggar{G4434} died,{G599} and{G2532} that he{G846} was carried{G667} away by{G5259} the angels{G32} into{G1519} Abraham's{G11} bosom:{G1161} and the rich man{G4145} also{G2532} died,{G599} and{G2532} was buried.{G2290}

And{G2532} in{G1722} Hades{G86} he lifted up{G1869} his{G846} eyes,{G3788} being{G5225} in{G1722} torments,{G931} and seeth{G3708} Abraham{G11} afar{G3113} off,{G575} and{G2532} Lazarus{G2976} in{G1722} his{G846} bosom.{G2859}

And{G2532} he{G846} cried{G5455} and said,{G2036} Father{G3962} Abraham,{G11} have mercy{G1653} on me,{G3165} and{G2532} send{G3992} Lazarus,{G2976} that{G2443} he may dip{G911} the tip{G206} of his{G846} finger{G1147} in water,{G5204} and{G2532} cool{G2711} my{G3450} tongue;{G1100} for{G3754} I am in anguish{G3600} in{G1722} this{G3778} flame.{G5395}

But{G1161} Abraham{G11} said,{G2036} Son,{G5043} remember{G3415} that{G3754} thou{G4771} in{G1722} thy{G4675} lifetime{G2222} receivedst{G618} thy{G4675} good things,{G18} and{G2532} Lazarus{G2976} in like{G3668} manner evil things:{G2556} but{G1161} now{G3568} here he{G3592} is comforted,{G3870} and{G1161} thou{G4771} art in anguish.{G3600}

And{G2532} besides{G1909} all{G3956} this,{G5125} between{G3342} us{G2257} and{G2532} you{G5216} there is a great{G3173} gulf{G5490} fixed,{G4741} that{G3704} they that{G3704} would{G2309} pass{G1224} from hence{G1782} to{G4314} you{G5209} may not{G3361} be able, and{G3366} that{G3588} none may cross over{G1276} from thence{G1564} to{G4314} us.{G2248}

And{G1161} he said,{G2036} I pray{G2065} thee{G4571} therefore,{G3767} father,{G3962} that{G2443} thou wouldest send{G3992} him{G846} to{G1519} my{G3450} father's{G3962} house;{G3624}

for{G1063} I have{G2192} five{G4002} brethren;{G80} that{G3704} he may testify{G1263} unto them,{G846} lest{G2443} {G3361} they{G846} also{G2532} come{G2064} into{G1519} this{G5126} place{G5117} of torment.{G931}

But Abraham{G11} saith,{G3004} {G846} They have{G2192} Moses{G3475} and{G2532} the prophets;{G4396} let them hear{G191} them.{G846}

And{G1161} he said,{G2036} Nay,{G3780} father{G3962} Abraham:{G11} but{G235} if{G1437} one{G5100} go{G4198} to{G4314} them{G846} from{G575} the dead,{G3498} they will repent.{G3340}

And{G1161} he said{G2036} unto him,{G846} If{G1487} they hear{G191} not{G3756} Moses{G3475} and{G2532} the prophets,{G4396} neither{G3761} will they be persuaded,{G3982} if{G1437} one{G5100} rise{G450} from{G1537} the dead.{G3498}
