“ The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light.

“ The manager had not been honest. But the master praised him for being clever. The people of this world are clever in dealing with those who are like themselves. They are more clever than God’s people.

你们从前活在黑暗中，现在既然活在主的光明中，行事为人就该像光明的儿女。

你们都是光明之子，白昼之子。我们既不属于黑夜，也不属于黑暗。

所以你们当趁着有光的时候信从光，好成为光明的儿女。”耶稣说完后，便离开他们，隐藏起来。

耶稣说：“今世的人才有嫁娶，

“一个人在小事上忠心，在大事上也会忠心；在小事上靠不住，在大事上更靠不住。

懒惰的人啊，去看看蚂蚁，观察它的生活，就会有智慧。蚂蚁没有元帅，没有官长，也没有君王，却在夏季储备粮食，在收割时积聚食物。

耶和华啊，求你伸手救我脱离这些人，脱离这些只在今生有福分的世人。你使他们财宝无数。他们儿女众多，还把财富留给子孙。

众所周知，即使智者也要死去，愚人和庸者也要灭亡，将他们的财富留给别人。尽管他们用自己的名字来为产业命名，坟墓却是他们永远的归宿，世代的住处。人不能长享富贵，终必死去，与兽无异。这就是愚昧人及其追随者的下场！（细拉）他们注定要死，与羊无异，死亡是他们的牧者；到了早晨，他们必被正直人管辖。他们的躯体必朽烂在坟墓里，远离自己的豪宅。但上帝必救赎我的生命脱离死亡的权势，接我到祂身边。（细拉）因此，见他人财富增多，日益奢华，不要害怕。因为他们死后什么也带不走，再不能拥有荣华富贵。他们活着时自以为有福，人们都赞扬他们的成就，到头来他们还是要归到祖先那里，再也看不见光明。
