1Then he also said to the disciples, "A certain rich man had a manager, and this man was accused to him as scattering his possessions."2And after summoning him he said to him, "What is this that I hear about you? Render the account of your management, for you are no longer able to manage."3Then the manager said to himself, "What shall I do, since my lord is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig; I am ashamed to beg."4I know what I shall do, so that when I am removed from the management they may receive me into their houses.5And after calling each one of the debtors of his lord, he was saying to the first, "How much do you owe to my lord?"6And he said, "A hundred measures of olive oil." Then he said to him, "Take your document and after sitting down quickly write fifty."7Then he said to another, "And you, how much do you owe?" And he said, "A hundred measures of grain." He says to him, "Take your document and write eighty."8And the lord praised the unrighteous manager because he had acted shrewdly, for the sons of this age are more shrewd than the sons of light in relation to their own generation.9And I say to you, make friends for yourselves out from the mammon of unrighteousness, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal tents.10The one who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and the one who is unjust in a very little is also unjust in much.11If therefore you have not been faithful in unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you the true?12And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own?13No slave is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to one and despise the other. You are not able to serve God and mammon.14Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were listening to all these things and were ridiculing him.15And he said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts, for what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God."
