6And hee said, An hundred measures of oyle. And hee saide vnto him, Take thy bill, and sit downe quickly, and write fiftie. 7Then said hee to another, And how much owest thou? And hee said, An hundred measures of wheat. And hee saide vnto him, Take thy bill and write fourescore. 8And the lord commended the vniust Steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser then the children of light. 9And I say vnto you, Make to your selues friends of the Mammon of vnrighteousnesse, that when ye faile, they may receiue you into euerlasting habitations. 10Hee that is faithfull in that which is least, is faithfull also in much: and he that is vniust in the least, is vniust also in much.
