; for thou canst be no longer
steward. (3)And the steward said within himself: What shall I do? for
my master takes away from me the stewardship. I am not able to dig; to
beg I am ashamed. (4)I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out
of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. (5)And
having called to him each one of his master's debtors, he said to the
first: How much owest thou to my master? (6)And he said: A hundred
measures of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill, and sit down
quickly, and write fifty. (7)Then he said to another: And how much
owest thou? And he said: A hundred measures of wheat. And he said to
him: Take thy bill, and write fourscore. (8)And the master commended
the unjust steward, because he had done wisely; because the sons of
this world are, in their generation, wiser than the sons of light.
(9)And I say to you: Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of
unrighteousness; that, when it fails, they may receive you into the
everlasting habitations. (10)He that is faithful in that which is
least is faithful also in much; and he that is unjust in the least is
unjust also in much. (11)If therefore ye were not faithful in the
unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you the true riches? (12)And
if ye were not faithful in that which is another's, who will give to
you your own? (13)No servant can serve two masters; for either he will
hate the one, and love the other, or he will hold to one, and despise
the other. Ye can not serve God and Mammon.

(14)And the Pharisees also; who were covetous, heard all these things;
and they derided him. (15)And he said to them: Ye are they who justify
themselves before men; but God knows your hearts; for that which is
highly esteemed among men is abomination before God.

(16)The law and the prophets were until John; from that time the good
news of the kingdom of God is published, and every man presses into
it. (17)And it is easier that heaven and earth should pass away, than
that one tittle of the law should fail.

(18)Every one who puts away his wife, and marries another, commits
adultery; and he who marries her when put away from a husband commits
adultery.

(19)There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine
linen, and fared sumptuously every day. (20)And there was a certain
beggar named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores, (21)and
desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's
table. Moreover
