Luke 16:7-9

Easy-to-Read Version

⁷ “Then the manager asked another one, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ He answered, ‘I owe him 100 measures^[a] of wheat.’ Then the manager said to him, ‘Here is your bill; you can make it less. Write 80 measures.’

⁸ “Later, the master told the dishonest manager that he had done a smart thing. Yes, worldly people are smarter in their business with each other than spiritual people are.

⁹ “I tell you, use the worldly things you have now to make ‘friends’ for later. Then, when those things are gone, you will be welcomed into a home that lasts forever.
