   ¹LET a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

   ²Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

   ³But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.

   ⁴For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

   ⁵Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

   ¹⁰But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

   ¹¹For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

   ¹²So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

   ⁴⁸But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

   ²And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.

   ³Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.

   ⁴I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

   ⁵So he called every one of his lord’s debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?

   ⁶And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

   ⁷Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.

   ⁸And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

   ⁹And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.

   ¹⁰He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

   ¹¹If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

   ¹²And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?

   ¹³¶ No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

   ²³¶ Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.

   ²⁴And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.

   ²⁵But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

   ²⁶The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

   ²⁷Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

   ²⁸But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

   ²⁹And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

   ³⁰And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.

   ³¹So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

   ³²Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:

   ³³Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

   ³⁴And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.

   ³⁵So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
