  **Show the text**

  2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving,

  3 praying together for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds,

  4 that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.

  5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.

  6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

  7 All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow bondservant in the Lord.

  8 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts,

  9 together with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you everything that is going on here.

- Gospel

  Luke 16:1–9

  **Show the text**

  1 He also said to his disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.

  2 He called him, and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’

  3 “The manager said within himself, ‘What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I don’t have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.

  4 I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’

  5 Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’

  6 He said, ‘A hundred batos of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’

  7 Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred cors of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’

  8 “His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light.

  9 I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents.
