(this is a scan from the exact, authentic, original 1611 'HE' King James Bible)

1 And hee said also vnto his disciples, There was a certaine rich man which had a Steward, and the same was accused vnto him that he had wasted his goods.

2 And hee called him, and said vnto him, How is it that I heare this of thee? Giue an accompt of thy stewardship: for thou mayest bee no longer Steward.

3 Then the Steward said within himselfe, What shall I doe, for my lord taketh away from mee the Stewardship? I cannot digge, to begge I am ashamed.

4 I am resolued what to doe, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receiue me into their houses.

5 So hee called euery one of his lords detters vnto him, and said vnto the first, How much owest thou vnto my lord?

6 And hee said, An hundred measures of oyle. And hee saide vnto him, Take thy bill, and sit downe quickly, and write fiftie.

7 Then 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.

8 And 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.

9 And 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.

10 Hee 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.

11 If therefore yee haue not bene faithfull in the vnrighteous Mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

12 And if ye haue not bene faithful in that which is another mans, who shall giue you that which is your owne?

13 ¶ No seruant can serue two masters, for either he will hate the one, and loue the other: or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other: yee cannot serue God and Mammon.

14 And the Pharisees also who were couetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

15 And he said vnto them, Ye are they which iustifie your selues before men, but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed amongst men, is abomination in the sight of God.

16 The law and the Prophets were vntill Iohn: since that time the kingdome of God is preached, and euery man preasseth into it.

17 And it is easier for heauen and earth to passe, then one title of the law to faile.

18 Whosoeuer putteth away his wife, & marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoeuer marrieth her that is put away from her husband, committeth adultery.

19 ¶ There was a certaine rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linnen, and fared sumptuously euery day.

20 And there was a certaine begger named Lazarus, which was layde at his gate full of sores,

21 And desiring to bee fed with the crummes which fel from the rich mans table: moreouer the dogges came and licked his sores.

22 And it came to passe that the begger died, and was caried by the Angels into Abrahams bosome: the rich man also died, and was buried.

23 And in hell he lift vp his eyes being in torments, and seeth Abraham afarre off, and Lazarus in his bosome:

24 And he cried, and said, Father Abraham, haue mercy on mee, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and coole my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame.

25 But Abraham saide, Sonne, remember that thou in thy life-time receiuedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus euill things, but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

26 And besides all this, betweene vs and you there is a great gulfe fixed, so that they which would passe from hence to you, cannot, neither can they passe to vs, that would come from thence.

27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore father, that thou wouldest send him to my fathers house:

28 For I haue fiue brethren, that he may testifie vnto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

29 Abraham saith vnto him, They haue Moses and the Prophets, let them heare them.

30 And hee said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went vnto them from the dead, they will repent.

31 And hee said vnto him, If they heare not Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be perswaded, though one rose from the dead.

@Brother,
On verse 18,
1. I agree with what Timothy had to say in response to Brother on his marriage situation, but there is more Timothy should be doing beside praying;
2. It is difficult giving relationship advice without being able to sit down and talk with both parties involved;
3. God always has solutions to every situation, but they are usually not so simple because of our sinful nature and after we have made decisions without proper biblical counseling with God and the man of God with the holy scriptures at the foundation of our decisions;
4. Are you and your wife both saved?
5. Do you both attend and participate in a good bible believing church?
6. Are you doing those things that God commands us to do that put us in a right relationship and good standing with him?
7. Although our mates have a large influence on our lives and how we are able to serve God, but our mates should not have that much influence on us that it holds us back from our spiritual growth and fellowship with God (1 Corinthians 7 and Ephesians 5:21-33);
8. We as Christians should never allow anyone to have such a strong hold on us to keep us from doing right and being diligent in seeking him. (1 Corinthians 7:29 and Hebrews 11:6);
9. The better our relationship, fellowship, and obedience to God's holy word the better position we place ourselves in having God answering our prayers and working in our favor;
10. We have a much better opportunity in winning others to our side (God’s side) when we love God verbally, but also when we especially love God with our actions;
11. People always tend to watch our actions over our speech (James 1:22-25);
12. I do not know what kind of a relationship Peter had with his wife, but it apparently did not stop him from doing what God wanted him to do!

Absolutely important for me.

 


Brother's Luke Chapter 16 comment on 8/05/2012, 8:38am...

Thank you Timothy. What you are revealing is truthful and Holy Spirit inspired. God bless you for being His vessel in my matter. Will keep on praying.

 


Timothy Wayne George's Luke Chapter 16 comment on 8/05/2012, 12:10am...

Dear Brother, marriage takes time. When the bible said the two will become one flesh, it does not happen over night. Jesus is saying in verse 18, if you marry someone who was put away, you will be committing adultery. God hates divorce, and yet Moses because of the hardness of their hearts suffered it when infidelity was done. Let not man put asunder them that God hath joined together. Jesus loved the Church, and gave his life for the Church. While we were sinners Christ died for us. Husbands are to love their wives the same way Jesus loves the Church. Love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. When you do this you will be able to love your wife as yourself. Live with your wife according to knowledge, as the weaker vessel. Be kind, tender, and forgiving even as God for Christ sake forgave you. Read the bible together, and go to Church together.Pray that the Lord will enable the two of you to become the one flesh that God has planned for you in your marriage. Divorce is not an option,and don't let the devil tempt you with that. Marriage is a covenant till death do ye part. May the Lord bless your marriage, and may your love grow stronger for your wife.

 


Brother's Luke Chapter 16 comment about verse 18 on 8/02/2012, 4:19pm...

What should one do when after marrying your wife for ten years and have both hoped things will get better and you reach a stage of being intolerant to each other to such that you feel she is keeping your spiritual growth stagnant, causing you to be upset in doing the opposite,not sharing anything in common, always not seeing things the same way, being both unhappy with each other? Honestly speaking, I just want out of this marriage. i feel i'm living a lie and not true to myself or her. Pls advise. i have also prayed unto God in telling Him how I feel.

 


Simon van Wyk (Snr)'s Luke Chapter 16 comment about verse 9 on 8/02/2012, 3:59pm...

I think Jesus meant that, embrace the riches of this world (unrighteousness mammon) which will enable you into the privilege of tithing, giving to the poor, give generously to those in need, clothe them,buy them food. Using the earthly wealth to serve God so that the seed you have planted on earth (as per the book of Revelation) where we will be judged by the works we did as it is written in the second book of our deeds) Therefore this wealth would have opened an opportunity to us to serve God with it hence the good works and fruits that emanated from the unrighteousness mammom will welcome us into everlasting habitation. See verse 11' it says if you cannot be trusted with the unrighteousness mammon how can you be trusted with the holy incorruptible wealth in heaven?

 


Roosevelt Quiah's Luke Chapter 16 comment on 6/04/2012, 7:55am...

Knowing Jesus for ourselves is not all to our salvation,we are accountable for the salvation of our love ones.
