Luke 16:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ The manager asked someone else who was in debt to his master, “How much do you owe?”

“A thousand sacks^[a] of wheat,” the man replied.

The manager said, “Take your bill and write ‘800.’ ”

⁸ The master praised his dishonest manager for looking out for himself so well. That's how it is! The people of this world look out for themselves better than the people who belong to the light.

^9 (A) My disciples, I tell you to use wicked wealth to make friends for yourselves. Then when it is gone, you will be welcomed into an eternal home.
