إنْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا أُمَنَاءَ في المَالِ الخَائِن، فَمَنْ يَأْتَمِنُكُم عَلَى الخَيْرِ الحَقِيقيّ؟ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا أُمَنَاءَ في مَا لَيْسَ لَكُم، فَمَنْ يُعْطِيكُم مَا هُوَ لَكُم؟
إنجيل القدّيس لوقا16/من01حتى12/:”قالَ الربُّ يَسوع لِتَلامِيذِهِ: «كانَ رَجُلٌ غَنِيٌّ لَهُ وَكِيل. فَوُشِيَ بِهِ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ يُبَدِّدُ مُقْتَنَيَاتِهِ. فَدَعَاهُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: مَا هذَا الَّذي أَسْمَعُهُ عَنْكَ؟ أَدِّ حِسَابَ وِكَالَتِكَ، فَلا يُمْكِنُكَ بَعْدَ اليَوْمِ أَنْ تَكُونَ وَكِيلاً. فَقَالَ الوَكِيلُ في نَفْسِهِ: مَاذَا أَفْعَل؟ لأَنَّ سَيِّدي يَنْزِعُ عَنِّي الوِكَالة، وأَنَا لا أَقْوَى عَلَى الفِلاَحَة، وَأَخْجَلُ أَنْ أَسْتَعْطي! قَدْ عَرَفْتُ مَاذَا أَفْعَل، حَتَّى إِذَا عُزِلْتُ مِنَ الوِكَالَةِ يَقْبَلُنِي النَّاسُ في بُيُوتِهِم. فَدَعَا مَدْيُونِي سَيِّدِهِ واحِدًا فَوَاحِدًا وَقَالَ لِلأَوَّل: كَمْ عَلَيْكَ لِسَيِّدي؟ فَقَال: مِئَةُ بَرْمِيلٍ مِنَ الزَّيْت. قَالَ لَهُ الوَكيل: إِلَيْكَ صَكَّكَ! إِجْلِسْ حَالاً وٱكْتُبْ: خَمْسِين. ثُمَّ قَالَ لآخَر: وَأَنْتَ، كَمْ عَلَيْك؟ فَقَال: مِئَةُ كِيسٍ مِنَ القَمْح. فَقالَ لَهُ الوَكيل: إِلَيْكَ صَكَّكَ! وٱكْتُبْ: ثَمَانِين. فَمَدَحَ السَّيِّدُ الوَكِيلَ الخَائِن، لأَنَّهُ تَصَرَّفَ بِحِكْمَة. فَإِنَّ أَبْنَاءَ هذَا الدَّهْرِ أَكْثَرُ حِكْمَةً مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ النُّورِ في تَعَامُلِهِم مَعَ جِيلِهِم. وَأَنَا أَقُولُ لَكُم: إِصْنَعُوا لَكُم أَصْدِقاءَ بِالمَالِ الخَائِن، حَتَّى إِذا نَفَد، قَبِلَكُمُ الأَصْدِقاءُ في المَظَالِّ الأَبَدِيَّة. أَلأَمِينُ في القَلِيلِ أَمينٌ في الكَثِير. والخَائِنُ في القَلِيلِ خَائِنٌ أَيْضًا في الكَثير. إِنْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا أُمَنَاءَ في المَالِ الخَائِن، فَمَنْ يَأْتَمِنُكُم عَلَى الخَيْرِ الحَقِيقيّ؟ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا أُمَنَاءَ في مَا لَيْسَ لَكُم، فَمَنْ يُعْطِيكُم مَا هُوَ لَكُم؟”

If then you have not been faithful with the dishonest wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches?
Saint Luke 16/01-12/:”The Lord Jesus said to the disciples: ‘There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was squandering his property. So he summoned him and said to him, “What is this that I hear about you? Give me an account of your management, because you cannot be my manager any longer.” Then the manager said to himself, “What will I do, now that my master is taking the position away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. I have decided what to do so that, when I am dismissed as manager, people may welcome me into their homes.” So, summoning his master’s debtors one by one, he asked the first, “How much do you owe my master?” He answered, “A hundred jugs of olive oil.” He said to him, “Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it fifty.” Then he asked another, “And how much do you owe?” He replied, “A hundred containers of wheat.” He said to him, “Take your bill and make it eighty.” And his master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the children of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than are the children of light. And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of dishonest wealth so that when it is gone, they may welcome you into the eternal homes. ‘Whoever is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and whoever is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much. If then you have not been faithful with the dishonest wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own?”

وأَنْتُم تَنْتَظِرُونَ ظُهُورَ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ المَسِيح هُوَ يُثَبِّتُكُم إِلى النِّهَايَة، لِتَكُونُوا بِلا لَوْمٍ في يَوْمِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ المَسِيح
رسالة القدّيس بولس الأولى إلى أهل قورنتس01/من01حتى09/:”يا إِخوَتِي، مِنْ بُولُسَ ٱلمَدْعُوِّ بِمَشِيئَةِ اللهِ لِيَكُونَ رَسُولَ يَسُوعَ المَسِيح، ومِنْ سُوسْتَانِيسَ ٱلأَخ، إِلى كَنيسَةِ اللهِ الَّتي في قُورِنْتُس، إِلى المُقَدَّسِينَ في المَسِيح يَسُوع، ٱلمَدْعُوِّينَ لِيَكُونُوا قِدِّيسِين، معَ جَميعِ الَّذينَ يَدْعُونَ في كُلِّ مَكَانٍ ٱسْمَ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ المَسِيح، وهُوَ رَبُّهُم ورَبُّنَا: أَلنِّعْمَةُ لَكُم والسَّلاَمُ مِنَ اللهِ أَبينَا والرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ المَسِيح! إِنِّي أَشْكُرُ إِلهِي دَائِمًا مِنْ أَجْلِكُم، عَلى نِعْمَةِ اللهِ الَّتي وُهِبَتْ لَكُم في المَسِيحِ يَسُوع، لأَنَّكُم فِيهِ ٱغْتَنَيْتُم بِكُلِّ شَيء، بَكُلِّ كَلِمَةٍ وَكُلِّ مَعْرِفَة، عَلى قَدْرِ مَا تَرَسَّخَتْ فيكُم شَهَادَةُ المَسِيح، حَتَّى لَمْ يَعُدْ يُعْوِزُكُم أَيُّ مَوْهِبَة، وأَنْتُم تَنْتَظِرُونَ ظُهُورَ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ المَسِيح. وهُوَ يُثَبِّتُكُم إِلى النِّهَايَة، لِتَكُونُوا بِلا لَوْمٍ في يَوْمِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ المَسِيح. أَمِينٌ هُوَ اللهُ الَّذي دَعَاكُم إِلى الشَّرِكَةِ مَعَ ٱبْنِهِ يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ رَبِّنَا.”

As you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you may be blameless
First Letter to the Corinthians 01/01-09/:”Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes, To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, together with all those who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that has been given you in Christ Jesus, for in every way you have been enriched in him, in speech and knowledge of every kind just as the testimony of Christ has been strengthened among you so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ. He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you may be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful; by him you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
