主人叫管家来，对他说，我所听到关于你的事，是怎么样？把你管家职分的账目交代清楚，因你不能再作管家了。
- 16:3 And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, because my master is taking the stewardship away from me? I am not strong enough to dig; I am ashamed to beg.
那管家心里说，主人要撤去我的管家职分，我该作什么才好？锄地吧，无力；讨饭吧，怕羞。
- 16:4 I know what I will do so that when I am removed from the stewardship they may receive me into their own houses.
我知道该怎么作，好叫人在我被撤去管家职分之后，可以接我到他们家里去。
- 16:5 And when he had called to him each one of his master's debtors, he said to the first, How much do you owe my master?

他说，一百篓油。管家说，拿你的账，快坐下写五十。

又问另一个说，你欠多少？他说，一百石麦子。管家说，拿你的账写八十。
- 16:8 And the master praised the unrighteous steward because he had acted prudently; for the sons of this age are more prudent in their dealings with their own generation than the sons of light.
主人就夸奖这不义的管家作事精明；因为今世之子对待自己的世代，比光明之子更加精明。

我又告诉你们，要借着那不义的钱财，为自己结交朋友，到了钱财无用的时候，他们可以接你们到永远的帐幕里去。
- 16:10 He who is faithful in the least is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in the least is unrighteous also in much.
在最小的事上忠信的，在许多事上也必忠信；在最小的事上不义的，在许多事上也必不义。
- 16:11 If therefore you have not become faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you what is true?
你们若是在不义的钱财上不忠信，谁还把那真实的信托你们？
- 16:12 And if you have not become faithful in that which belongs to another, who will give to you that which is your own?
你们若是在别人的东西上不忠信，谁还把你们自己的东西给你们？
- 16:13 No household 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. You cannot serve God and mammon.
没有一个家仆能事奉两个主；因为他不是恨这个爱那个，就是忠于这个轻视那个。你们不能事奉神，又事奉玛门。

耶稣对他们说，你们是在人面前自称为义的，但神知道你们的心；因为在人中间高贵的，在神面前却是可憎的。
- 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John; from that time the kingdom of God is proclaimed as the gospel, and everyone forces his way into it.
律法和申言者到约翰为止；从此神的国当作福音传开了，人人强力夺取要进去。
- 16:17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one serif of the law to fail.
天地过去，比律法的一画落空还容易。
