I know what I will do when my job is gone. My friends will welcome me in their homes.' He called all the people who were in debt to his master.

'A thousand bushels of wheat,' he answered. 'Here is your bill. Pay eight hundred bushels.' The master of the dishonest manager praised him for doing a shrewd thing. People of this world are more astute at handling their affairs than people who belong to the light. Jesus continued: I tell you, make friends for yourselves with worldly wealth. That way when it gives out, you will be welcomed in the eternal home. Whoever is faithful in little things will be faithful in large ones. Whoever is unrighteous in small things will be unrighteous in large ones. If you have not been faithful in handling worldly wealth, how can you be trusted with true wealth? If you have not been faithful with what belongs to someone else, who will give you what belongs to you? No one can serve two masters. He will hate one and love the other. He will be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
