The dishonest manager; no servant can serve two masters

옳지 않은 청지기의 비유와 두 주인을 섬길 수 없다는 말씀

Luke 16:1–13: he also says to his disciples that there was a certain rich man who had a manager, and an accusation was made to the rich man that the manager was wasting his possessions. He called the manager 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.” 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. I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.” Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he told the one who owed a hundred batos of oil to take his bill, sit down quickly and write fifty, and the one who owed a hundred cors of wheat to take his bill and write eighty. 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. “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.” He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much, and he who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much: “If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own? No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to one and despise the other. You aren’t able to serve God and Mammon.”
