THEN said he also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he received an information against him, as having dissipated his treasures. And calling him, he said to him, What is this report I hear of thee? give up the account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer in that office. Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? because my master is taking away the stewardship from me: to dig, I have not the strength; to beg, I am ashamed. read more.
I know what I will do, that, when I am removed from the stewardship, they may entertain me at their houses. So calling upon every one of his master's debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou to my master? And he said, A hundred baths of oil. And he said, Take thy account, and sit down directly, and write fifty. Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred core of wheat. And he saith to him, Take thy account, and write fourscore. And the master praised the unjust steward, because he had acted providently: for the children of this world are more provident among their own generation of men, than the children of light.

And I say unto you, Make yourselves friends with the unrighteous mammon that when ye fail, they may receive you into the eternal mansions. He that is faithful in the least thing, is faithful also in much: and he who is unjust in the least, is unjust also in much. If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust you with the true? and if ye have not been faithful in that which belongs to another, who will give up to you that which is your own? No domestic can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will cleave to the one, and neglect the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
