    3Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my master is taking away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg.

    4I have resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

    5So he called every one of his master's debtors to him, and said to the first, How much do you owe my master?

    6And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take your bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

    7Then he said to another, And how much do you owe? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he said to him, Take your bill, and write eighty.

    8And the master commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

    9And I say to you, Make friends for yourselves using the wealth of unrighteousness; that, when you fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings.

    10He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much: and he who is unjust in what is least is also unjust in much.

    11If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

    12And if you have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who will give you what is your own?

    13No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.
