Stewardship
Luke 16:1 - Luke 16:2 - 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. Luke 16:3 - Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed. Luke 16:4 - I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. Luke 16:5 - So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, how much owest thou unto my lord? Luke 16:6 - And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. Luke 16:7 - Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore. Luke 16:8 - 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. |

Luke 19:22 - And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: Luke 19:23 - Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? Luke 19:24 - And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. Luke 19:25 - (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
