Luke 16:7-9

Christian Standard Bible

⁷ “Next he asked another, ‘How much do you owe?’

“‘A hundred measures of wheat,’ he said.

“‘Take your invoice,’ he told him, ‘and write eighty.’

⁸ “The master praised the unrighteous manager^(A) because he had acted shrewdly. For the children of this age^(B) are more shrewd than the children of light^(C) in dealing with their own people.^{[a] 9} And I tell you, make friends^(D) for yourselves by means of worldly wealth^[b](E) so that when it fails, they may welcome you into eternal dwellings.
