Luke 16
16:1And he said also to his disciples, A certain man was rich, who had a manager; and this one was accused by him as wasting his possessions.
16:2And having called him, he said to him, What is this I hear concerning you? Render a reckoning of your management; for you are not able any more to manage.
16:3And the manager said to himself, What shall I do, for my master removes the management from me? I am not strong enough to dig; to beg I am ashamed.
16:4I know what I shall do that whenever the management should be changed over, that they shall receive me into their houses.
16:5And calling on each one of the debtors of his master, he said to the first, How much do you owe my master?
16:6And he said, A hundred baths of olive oil. And he said to him, Take your invoice, and sitting, quickly write fifty!
16:7Thereupon to another he said, And you, how much do you owe? And he said, A hundred cors of grain. And he says to him, You take the invoice, and write eighty!
16:8And the master praised the unrighteous manager for he acted with practicality. For the sons of this eon are more practical than the sons of the light are in their own generation.
16:9And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends from out of the mammon of the unrighteous, that whenever you fail, they should receive you into the eternal tents.
16:10The one trustworthy in the least also in much is trustworthy; and the one unjust in the least also is unjust in much.
16:11If then in the unjust mammon you were not trustworthy, who will trust to you the true?
16:12And if in that which is a stranger's you were not trustworthy, who will give to you your own?
16:13No servant is able to serve two masters; for either the one he will detest, and the other he will love; or one he will hold to, and the other disdain. You are not able to serve God and mammon.
16:14And the Pharisees being fond of money heard all these things, and they derided him.
16:15And he said to them, You are the ones justifying yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For the lofty thing in men is an abomination before God.
16:16The law and the prophets were until John. From then the kingdom of God is announced as good news, and every one forces into it.
16:17But easier it is for the heaven and the earth to pass away, than for one dot to fall of the law.
16:18Every one divorcing his wife, and marrying another, commits adultery; and every one marrying one being divorced from a husband, commits adultery.
16:19And a certain man was rich, and dressed in purple and linen, being merry daily and glowing.
16:20And there was a certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his gatehouse, one having sores,
16:21and desiring to be filled from the crumbs of the ones falling from the table of the rich man. And also the dogs coming licked his sores.
16:22And it came to pass for the poor man to die, and for him to be carried by the angels into the bosom of Abraham. And the rich man also died, and was buried.
16:23And in Hades having lifted up his eyes being in torment, he sees Abraham from far off, and Lazarus in his enfolded arms.
16:24And he speaking out loud, said, O father Abraham, show mercy on me, and send forth Lazarus that he should dip the tip of his finger in water, and should cool my tongue; for I grieve in this flame.
16:25And Abraham said, Son, remember that you accepted the good things of yours in your life, and Lazarus in like manner the bad. But now thus he is comforted, but you grieve.
16:26And upon all these things, between us and you is a great chasm firmly fixed; so that the ones wanting to pass over on this side to you are not able, nor the ones from there to us should pass through.
16:27And he said, I ask then you, O father, that you should send him forth unto the house of my father.
16:28For I have five brothers, so that he should testify to them, that they should not also come unto this place of torment.
16:29And Abraham says, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them!
16:30But he said, No, O father Abraham; but if one from the dead should go to them, they shall repent.
16:31And he said to him, If Moses and the prophets they did not hear, not even if one from the dead should rise up will they be yielded.
