English Standard Version Help
16He also said to the disciples, "There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was wasting his possessions.G1161G3004G2532G4314G846G3101G2258G5100G4145G444G3739G2192G3623G2532G3778G1225G846G5613G1287G846G5224 2And he called him and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Turn in the account of your management, for you can no longer be manager.'G2532G5455G846G2036G846G5101G191G5124G4012G4675G591G3056G4675G3622G1063G1410G3756G2089G3621 3And the manager said to himself, 'What shall I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.G1161G3623G2036G1722G1438G5101G4160G3754G3450G2962G851G575G1700G3622G3756G2480G4626G1871G153 4I have decided what to do, so that when I am removed from management, people may receive me into their houses.'G1097G5101G4160G2443G3752G3179G3622G1209G3165G1519G846G3624 5So, summoning his master's debtors one by one, he said to the first, 'How much do you owe my master?'G2532G4341G1538G1520G1438G2962G5533G3004G4413G4214G3784G3450G2962 6He said, 'A hundred measures of oil.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.'G1161G2036G1540G943G1637G2532G2036G846G1209G4675G1121G2532G2523G5030G1125G4004 7Then he said to another, 'And how much do you owe?' He said, 'A hundred measures of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.'G1899G2036G2087G1161G4214G3784G4771G1161G2036G1540G2884G4621G2532G3004G846G1209G4675G1121G2532G1125G3589 8The master commended the dishonest manager for his shrewdness. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light.G2532G2962G1867G93G3623G3754G4160G5430G3754G5207G5127G165G1526G1519G1438G1074G5429G5228G5207G5457 9And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings.G2504G3004G5213G4160G1438G5384G1537G3126G93G2443G3752G1587G1209G5209G1519G166G4633 10"One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.G4103G1722G1646G2076G4103G2532G1722G4183G2532G94G1722G1646G2076G94G2532G1722G4183 11If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches?G1487G3767G1096G3756G1096G4103G1722G94G3126G5101G4100G5213G4100G228 12And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?G2532G1487G1096G3756G1096G4103G1722G245G5101G1325G5213G5212 13No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money."G3762G3610G1410G1398G1417G2962G1063G2228G3404G1520G2532G25G2087G2228G472G1520G2532G2706G2087G3756G1410G1398G2316G2532G3126 14The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things, and they ridiculed him.G1161G5330G2532G5225G5366G191G3956G5023G2532G1592G846 15And he said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.G2532G2036G846G5210G2075G1344G1438G1799G444G1161G2316G1097G5216G2588G3754G5308G1722G444G2076G946G1799G2316 16"The Law and the Prophets were until John; since then the good news of the kingdom of God is preached, and everyone forces his way into it.G3551G2532G4396G2193G2491G575G5119G932G2316G2097G2532G3956G971G1519G846 17But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one dot of the Law to become void.G1161G2076G2123G3772G2532G1093G3928G2228G3391G2762G3551G4098 18"Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.G3956G630G846G1135G2532G1060G2087G3431G2532G3956G1060G630G575G435G3431 19"There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day.G1161G2258G5100G4145G444G2532G1737G4209G2532G1040G2165G2988G2596G2250 20And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores,G1161G2258G5100G4434G3686G2976G3739G906G4314G846G4440G1669 21who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores.G2532G1937G5526G575G5589G3588G4098G575G4145G5132G235G2532G2965G2064G621G846G1668 22The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried,G1161G1096G4434G599G2532G667G5259G32G1519G11G2859G4145G1161G2532G599G2532G2290 23and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side.G2532G1722G86G1869G846G3788G5225G1722G931G3708G11G3113G575G2532G2976G1722G846G2859 24And he called out, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.'G2532G846G5455G2036G3962G11G1653G3165G2532G3992G2976G2443G911G206G846G1147G5204G2532G2711G3450G1100G3754G3600G1722G5026G5395 25But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish.G1161G11G2036G5043G3415G3754G4771G1722G4675G2222G618G4675G18G2532G3668G2976G2556G1161G3568G3592G3870G1161G4771G3600 26And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.'G2532G1909G3956G5125G3342G2257G2532G5216G4741G3173G5490G4741G3704G2309G1224G1782G4314G5209G3361G1410G3366G1276G4314G2248G1564 27And he said, 'Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father's house—G1161G2036G2065G4571G3767G3962G2443G3992G846G1519G3450G3962G3624 28for I have five brothers—so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.'G1063G2192G4002G80G3704G1263G846G3363G846G2532G2064G1519G5126G5117G931 29But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.'G11G3004G846G2192G3475G2532G4396G191G846 30And he said, 'No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'G1161G2036G3780G3962G11G235G1437G5100G4198G4314G846G575G3498G3340 31He said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.'"G1161G2036G846G1487G191G3756G3475G2532G4396G3761G3982G1437G5100G450G1537G3498
