Luke 16:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷ “Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’

“He said, ‘One thousand bushels^[a] of wheat.’

“He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eight hundred.’

⁸ “The master commended the dishonest steward, because he had acted prudently. For the sons of this world are wiser in their own generation than the sons of light. ⁹ I say to you, make friends for yourself by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when you fall short, they may receive you into eternal dwellings.
