Luke Chapter 16, Verse 2
From BibleWiki
2: και φωνησας αυτον ειπεν αυτω τι τουτο ακουω περι σου αποδος τον λογον της οικονομιας σου ου γαρ δυνηση ετι οικονομειν
2: And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear
this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou
mayest be no longer steward.
2: And he called him and said to him: How is it that I hear this of
thee? Give an account of thy stewardship: for now thou canst be steward
no longer.
Give an account. Give a statement of your expenses and of your
conduct while you have been steward. This is not to be referred to the
day of judgment. It is a circumstance thrown into the parable to prepare
the way for what follows. It is true that all will be called to give an
account at the day of judgment, but we are not to derive that doctrine
from such passages as this, nor are we to interpret this as teaching
that our conscience, or the law, or any beings will accuse us in the day
of judgment. All that will be indeed true, but it is not the truth that
is taught in this passage.
