And he said also unto his disciples, {SCJ}There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. {SCJ.}
{SCJ}And 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. {SCJ.}
{SCJ}Then 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. {SCJ.}
{SCJ}And 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. {SCJ.}
{SCJ}And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. {SCJ.}
{SCJ}No 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. {SCJ.}
And he said unto them, {SCJ}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. {SCJ.}
{SCJ}Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from [her] husband committeth adultery. {SCJ.}
{SCJ}And 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. {SCJ.}
{SCJ}But 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. {SCJ.}
{SCJ}And 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. {SCJ.}
