42:016:008 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.
42:016:009 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves
friends of the mammon
of
unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive
you
into
everlasting habitations.
42:016:010 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.
42:016:011 If therefore ye have not been faithful
in the unrighteous
mammon,
who will commit to your trust the true riches?
42:016:012 And if ye have not been faithful in that
which is another
man’s,
who shall give you that which is your own?
42:016:013 No servant can serve two masters:
for either he will hate the
one,
and love the other; or else he will hold to the one,
and
despise
the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
42:016:014 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous,
heard all these
things:
and they derided him.
42:016:015 And he said unto them, Ye are they which
justify yourselves
before
men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which
is
highly
esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
42:016:016 The law and the prophets were until John:
since that time the
kingdom
of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
42:016:017 And it is easier for heaven and earth to
pass, than one tittle
of
the law to fail.
42:016:018 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth
another,
committeth
adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put
away
from her husband committeth adultery.
42:016:019 There was a certain rich man, which was
clothed in purple and
fine
linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
42:016:020 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus,
which was laid
at
his gate, full of sores,
42:016:021 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs
which fell from the
rich
man’s table: moreover the dogs came and
licked his sores.
42:016:022 And it came to pass, that the beggar died,
and was carried by
the
angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man
also died, and
was
buried;
42:016:023 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being
in torments, and seeth
Abraham
afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
42:016:024 And he cried and said, Father Abraham,
have mercy on me, and
send
Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water,
and
cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
42:016:025 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou
in thy lifetime
receivedst
thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things:
but
now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
