16:2 - He asked of him, How can I hear this of you? Tell me about your time as a steward or you may not be a steward any more.
16:3 - What shall I do, said the steward within himself. The stewardship taketh away from me for my lord. I can’t dig. I am ashamed to beg.
16:4 - I know what I’ll do so if I lose my job, at least these people will maybe take care of me.
16:5 - He called each one of his lord’s sinners to him, and said to the first one, how much do you owe to my lord?
16:6 - He then said, ‘A hundred units of oil’. He replied, ‘Take your invoice, sit down there, and write fifty’.
16:7 - Then he asked another man, How much do you owe? And the man answered, A hundred measures of wheat. And he told the man, Take your bill, and write fourscore.
16:8 - And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done right: the children of this world in this generation are wiser than the children of light.
16:9 - I tell you, become friends with the rich and unrighteous so that when you fail, they will welcome you into their homes forever.
16:10 - If you have faith in the little things then you have faith in the big things: and if you cheat just a little you will also cheat a lot.
