  1 Thessalonians 2:9–14

  **Show the text**

  9 For you remember, brothers, our labor and travail; for working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the Good News of God.

  10 You are witnesses with God how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.

  11 As you know, we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you, as a father does his own children,

  12 to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.

  13 For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.

  14 For you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews

- 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.
