I have not strength to dig; to beg I am ashamed. <\/br><strong>4<\/strong> I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> And calling to him each one of his lord&#8217;s debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou unto my lord? <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bond, and sit down quickly and write fifty. <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. He saith unto him, Take thy bond, and write fourscore. <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> And his lord commended the unrighteous steward because he had done wisely: for the sons of this world are for their own generation wiser than the sons of the light. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends by means of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when it shall fail, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much: and he that is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true `riches&#8217;? <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another&#8217;s, who will give you that which is your own? <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> And the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things; and they scoffed at him. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> And he said unto them, Ye are they that justify yourselves in the sight of men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> The law and the prophets `were&#8217; until John: from that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and every man entereth violently into it. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth one that is put away from a husband committeth adultery. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day: <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores, <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> and desiring to be fed with the `crumbs&#8217; that fell from the rich man&#8217;s table; yea, even the dogs come and licked his sores. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham&#8217;s bosom: and the rich man also died, and was buried. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> 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 in anguish in this flame. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted and thou art in anguish. <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that they that would pass from hence to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from thence to us. <\/br><strong>27<\/strong> And he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father&#8217;s house; <\/br><strong>28<\/strong> for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. <\/br><strong>29<\/strong> But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. <\/br><strong>30<\/strong> And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one go to them from the dead, they will repent. <\/br><strong>31<\/strong> And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rise from the dead. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n    google_ad_slot = \"6844414800\";\n    google_ad_width = 320;\n    google_ad_height = 100;\n<\/script><br \/>\n<!-- a2g_320x100_more_for_mobile --><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- a2g_responsive_link_ads --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4647651612525789\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2949445208\"\n     data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>If you know someone that needs to give their heart to Jesus, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/2014\/05\/26\/bill-winstons-prayer-of-salvation-the-sinners-prayer\/\" title=\"great video of the Salvation Prayer\" target=\"_blank\">here&#8217;s a great video of the Salvation Prayer (Sinner&#8217;s Prayer).<\/a><\/strong><\/br><\/br>If you (or anyone you know) needs prayer, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/24-hour-toll-free-prayer-lines\/\" target=\"_blank\">here&#8217;s a list of toll free 24 hour prayer lines.<\/a><\/strong> <\/br><br \/><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/salvation\/faqs-about-salvation\/\" target=\"_blank\">Here&#8217;s a list of frequently asked questions about Salvation.<\/a><\/strong> <br \/><\/br>To access different versions of the Bible, click the following links: <br \/> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=king+james+version\" target=\"_blank\">King James Version (KJV), <\/a><\/strong> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=American+Standard+Version\" target=\"_blank\">American Standard Version (ASV), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=World+English+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">World English Bible (WEB), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Darby+English+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">Darby English Bible (DARBY), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Bible+in+Basic+English\" target=\"_blank\">Bible in Basic English (BBE), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Webster+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">Webster&#8217;s Bible (WBT), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Young+Literal+Translation\" target=\"_blank\">Young&#8217;s Literal Translation (YLT)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 And he said also unto the disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward;
