Luke 16

16And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.G1161G3004G2532G4314G846G3101G2258G5100G4145G444G3739G2192G3623G2532G3778G1225G846G5613G1287G846G52242And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.G2532G5455G846G2036G846G5101G191G5124G4012G4675G591G3056G4675G3622G1063G1410G3756G2089G36213Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.G1161G3623G2036G1722G1438G5101G4160G3754G3450G2962G851G575G1700G3622G3756G2480G4626G1871G1534I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.G1097G5101G4160G2443G3752G3179G3622G1209G3165G1519G846G36245So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?G2532G4341G1538G1520G1438G2962G5533G3004G4413G4214G3784G3450G29626And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.G1161G2036G1540G943G1637G2532G2036G846G1209G4675G1121G2532G2523G5030G1125G40047Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.G1899G2036G2087G1161G4214G3784G4771G1161G2036G1540G2884G4621G2532G3004G846G1209G4675G1121G2532G1125G35898And the lord 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.G2532G2962G1867G93G3623G3754G4160G5430G3754G5207G5127G165G1526G1519G1438G1074G5429G5228G5207G54579And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.G2504G3004G5213G4160G1438G5384G1537G3126G93G2443G3752G1587G1209G5209G1519G166G463310He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.G4103G1722G1646G2076G4103G2532G1722G4183G2532G94G1722G1646G2076G94G2532G1722G418311If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?G1487G3767G1096G3756G1096G4103G1722G94G3126G5101G4100G5213G4100G22812And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?G2532G1487G1096G3756G1096G4103G1722G245G5101G1325G5213G521213No 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. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.G3762G3610G1410G1398G1417G2962G1063G2228G3404G1520G2532G25G2087G2228G472G1520G2532G2706G2087G3756G1410G1398G2316G2532G312614And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.G1161G5330G2532G5225G5366G191G3956G5023G2532G1592G84615And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.G2532G2036G846G5210G2075G1344G1438G1799G444G1161G2316G1097G5216G2588G3754G5308G1722G444G2076G946G1799G231616The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.G3551G2532G4396G2193G2491G575G5119G932G2316G2097G2532G3956G971G1519G84617And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.G1161G2076G2123G3772G2532G1093G3928G2228G3391G2762G3551G409818Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.G3956G630G846G1135G2532G1060G2087G3431G2532G3956G1060G630G575G435G343119There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:G1161G2258G5100G4145G444G2532G1737G4209G2532G1040G2165G2988G2596G225020And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,G1161G2258G5100G4434G3686G2976G3739G906G4314G846G4440G166921And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.G2532G1937G5526G575G5589G3588G4098G575G4145G5132G235G2532G2965G2064G621G846G166822And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;G1161G1096G4434G599G2532G667G5259G32G1519G11G2859G4145G1161G2532G599G2532G229023And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.G2532G1722G86G1869G846G3788G5225G1722G931G3708G11G3113G575G2532G2976G1722G846G285924And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.G2532G846G5455G2036G3962G11G1653G3165G2532G3992G2976G2443G911G206G846G1147G5204G2532G2711G3450G1100G3754G3600G1722G5026G539525But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.G1161G11G2036G5043G3415G3754G4771G1722G4675G2222G618G4675G18G2532G3668G2976G2556G1161G3568G3592G3870G1161G4771G360026And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.G2532G1909G3956G5125G3342G2257G2532G5216G4741G3173G5490G4741G3704G2309G1224G1782G4314G5209G3361G1410G3366G1276G4314G2248G156427Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:G1161G2036G2065G4571G3767G3962G2443G3992G846G1519G3450G3962G362428For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.G1063G2192G4002G80G3704G1263G846G3363G846G2532G2064G1519G5126G5117G93129Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.G11G3004G846G2192G3475G2532G4396G191G84630And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.G1161G2036G3780G3962G11G235G1437G5100G4198G4314G846G575G3498G334031And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.G1161G2036G846G1487G191G3756G3475G2532G4396G3761G3982G1437G5100G450G1537G3498

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
