ASV_Strong : Luke 16
1. And[G1161] he said[G3004] also[G2532] unto[G4314] the[G846] disciples[G3101], There was[G2258] a certain[G5100] rich[G4145] man[G444], who[G3739] had[G2192] a steward[G3623]; and[G2532] the same[G3778] was accused[G1225] unto him[G846] that[G5613] he was wasting[G1287] his[G846] goods[G5224].
2. And[G2532] he called[G5455] him[G846], and[G2532] said[G2036] unto him[G846], What is this[G5124] that I hear[G191] of[G4012] thee[G4675]? render[G591] the account[G3056] of thy[G4675] stewardship[G3622]; for[G1063] thou canst be[G1410] no[G3756] longer[G2089] steward[G3621].
3. And[G1161] the steward[G3623] said[G2036] within[G1722] himself[G1438], What[G5101] shall I do[G4160], seeing[G3754] that my[G3450] lord[G2962] taketh away[G851] the stewardship[G3622] from[G575] me[G1700]? I have[G2480] not[G2480] strength to dig[G4626]; to beg[G1871] I am ashamed[G153].
4. I am resolved[G1097] what[G5101] to do[G4160], that[G2443], when[G3752] I am put out[G3179] of the stewardship[G3622], they may receive[G1209] me[G3165] into[G1519] their[G846] houses[G3624].
5. And[G2532] calling[G4341] to him each[G1538] one[G1520] of his[G1438] lord[G2962]'s debtors[G5533], he said[G3004] to the first[G4413], How much[G4214] owest thou[G3784] unto my[G3450] lord[G2962]?
6. And[G1161] he said[G2036], A hundred[G1540] measures[G943] of oil[G1637]. And[G2532] he said[G2036] unto him[G846], Take[G1209] thy[G4675] bond[G1121], and[G2532] sit down[G2523] quickly[G5030] and write[G1125] fifty[G4004].
7. Then[G1899] said he[G2036] to another[G2087], And[G1161] how much[G4214] owest[G3784] thou[G4771]? And[G1161] he said[G2036], A hundred[G1540] measures[G2884] of wheat[G4621]. He[G2532] saith[G3004] unto him[G846], Take[G1209] thy[G4675] bond[G1121], and[G2532] write[G1125] fourscore[G3589].
8. And[G2532] his lord[G2962] commended[G1867] the unrighteous[G93] steward[G3623] because[G3754] he had done[G4160] wisely[G5430]: for[G3754] the sons[G5207] of this[G5127] world[G165] are[G1526] for[G3754] their[G1438] own generation[G1074] wiser[G5429] than[G5228] the sons[G5207] of the light[G5457].
9. And I[G2504] say[G3004] unto you[G5213], Make[G4160] to yourselves[G1438] friends[G5384] by[G1537] means of the mammon[G3126] of unrighteousness[G93]; that[G2443], when[G3752] it shall fail[G1587], they may receive[G1209] you[G5209] into[G1519] the eternal[G166] tabernacles[G3126].
10. He that[G3588] is faithful[G4103] in[G1722] a very little[G1646] is faithful[G4103] also[G2532] in[G1722] much[G4183]: and[G2532] he that[G3588] is[G2076] unrighteous[G94] in[G1722] a very little[G1646] is[G2076] unrighteous[G94] also[G2532] in[G1722] much[G4183].
11. If[G1487] therefore[G3767] ye have[G1096] not[G3756] been[G1096] faithful[G4103] in[G1722] the unrighteous[G94] mammon[G3126], who[G5101] will commit[G4100] to your[G5213] trust[G4100] the true riches[G228]?
12. And[G2532] if[G1487] ye have[G1096] not[G3756] been[G1096] faithful[G4103] in[G1722] that which[G3588] is another[G245]'s, who[G5101] will give[G1325] you[G5213] that which[G3588] is your own[G5212]?
13. No[G3762] servant[G3610] can[G1410] serve[G1398] two[G1417] masters[G2962]: for[G1063] either[G2228] he will hate[G3404] the one[G1520], and[G2532] love[G25] the other[G2087]; or else[G2228] he will hold to[G472] one[G1520], and[G2532] despise[G2706] the other[G2087]. Ye cannot[G1410, 3756] serve[G1398] God[G2316] and[G2532] mammon[G3126].
14. And[G1161] the Pharisees[G5330], who[G2532] were[G5225] lovers of money[G5366], heard[G191] all[G3956] these things[G5023]; and[G2532] they scoffed[G1592] at him[G846].
15. And[G2532] he said[G2036] unto them[G846], Ye[G5210] are[G2075] they that[G3588] justify[G1344] yourselves[G1438] in the sight[G1799] of men[G444]; but[G1161] God[G2316] knoweth[G1097] your[G5216] hearts[G2588]: for[G3754] that which[G3588] is exalted[G5308] among[G1722] men[G444] is[G2076] an abomination[G946] in the sight[G1799] of God[G2316].
16. The law[G3551] and[G2532] the prophets[G4396] were until[G2193] John[G2491]: from[G575] that time[G5119] the gospel of the kingdom[G932] of God[G2316] is preached[G2097], and[G2532] every man[G3956] entereth violently[G971] into[G1519] it[G846].
17. But[G1161] it is[G2076] easier[G2123] for heaven[G3772] and[G2532] earth[G1093] to pass[G3928] away[G2228], than for one[G1520] tittle[G2762] of the law[G3551] to fall[G4098].
18. Every one[G3956] that putteth away[G630] his[G846] wife[G1135], and[G2532] marrieth[G1060] another[G2087], committeth adultery[G3431]: and[G2532] he that[G3956] marrieth one[G1060] that[G3588] is put away[G630] from[G575] a husband[G435] committeth adultery[G3431].
19. Now there was[G2258] a certain[G5100] rich[G4145] man[G444], and[G2532] he was clothed[G1737] in purple[G4209] and[G2532] fine linen[G1040], faring[G2165] sumptuously[G2988] every[G2596] day[G2250]:
20. and[G1161, 2258] a certain[G5100] beggar[G4434] named[G3686] Lazarus[G2976] was[G3739] laid[G906] at[G4314] his[G846] gate[G4440], full of sores[G1669],
21. and[G2532] desiring[G1937] to be fed[G5526] with[G575] the crumbs[G5589] that[G3588] fell[G4098] from[G575] the rich man[G4145]'s table[G5132]; yea[G235], even[G2532] the dogs[G2965] came[G2064] and licked[G621] his[G846] sores[G1668].
22. And[G1161] it came to pass[G1096], that the beggar[G4434] died[G599], and[G2532] that he[G846] was carried[G667] away by[G5259] the angels[G32] into[G1519] Abraham[G11]'s bosom[G1161]: and the rich man[G4145] also[G2532] died[G599], and[G2532] was buried[G2290].
23. And[G2532] in[G1722] Hades[G86] he lifted up[G1869] his[G846] eyes[G3788], being[G5225] in[G1722] torments[G931], and seeth[G3708] Abraham[G11] afar[G3113] off[G575], and[G2532] Lazarus[G2976] in[G1722] his[G846] bosom[G2859].
24. And[G2532] he[G846] cried[G5455] and said[G2036], Father[G3962] Abraham[G11], have mercy[G1653] on me[G3165], and[G2532] send[G3992] Lazarus[G2976], that[G2443] he may dip[G911] the tip[G206] of his[G846] finger[G1147] in water[G5204], and[G2532] cool[G2711] my[G3450] tongue[G1100]; for[G3754] I am in anguish[G3600] in[G1722] this[G3778] flame[G5395].
25. But[G1161] Abraham[G11] said[G2036], Son[G5043], remember[G3415] that[G3754] thou[G4771] in[G1722] thy[G4675] lifetime[G2222] receivedst[G618] thy[G4675] good things[G18], and[G2532] Lazarus[G2976] in like[G3668] manner evil things[G2556]: but[G1161] now[G3568] here he[G3592] is comforted[G3870], and[G1161] thou[G4771] art in anguish[G3600].
26. And[G2532] besides[G1909] all[G3956] this[G5125], between[G3342] us[G2257] and[G2532] you[G5216] there is a great[G3173] gulf[G5490] fixed[G4741], that[G3704] they that[G3704] would[G2309] pass[G1224] from hence[G1782] to[G4314] you[G5209] may not[G3361] be able[G3366], and that[G3588] none may cross over[G1276] from thence[G1564] to[G4314] us[G2248].
27. And[G1161] he said[G2036], I pray[G2065] thee[G4571] therefore[G3767], father[G3962], that[G2443] thou wouldest send[G3992] him[G846] to[G1519] my[G3450] father[G3962]'s house[G3624];
28. for[G1063] I have[G2192] five[G4002] brethren[G80]; that[G3704] he may testify[G1263] unto them[G846], lest[G2443, 3361] they[G846] also[G2532] come[G2064] into[G1519] this[G5126] place[G5117] of torment[G931].
29. But Abraham[G11] saith[G3004], [G846] They have[G2192] Moses[G3475] and[G2532] the prophets[G4396]; let them hear[G191] them[G846].
30. And[G1161] he said[G2036], Nay[G3780], father[G3962] Abraham[G11]: but[G235] if[G1437] one[G5100] go[G4198] to[G4314] them[G846] from[G575] the dead[G3498], they will repent[G3340].
31. And[G1161] he said[G2036] unto him[G846], If[G1487] they hear[G191] not[G3756] Moses[G3475] and[G2532] the prophets[G4396], neither[G3761] will they be persuaded[G3982], if[G1437] one[G5100] rise[G450] from[G1537] the dead[G3498].
