And his lord commended the unrighteous steward because he had done wisely: for the sons of this world are for their own generation wiser than the sons of the light.

And his lord was pleased with the false servant, because he had been wise; for the sons of this world are wiser in relation to their generation than the sons of light.

Και επηνεσεν ο κυριος τον αδικον οικονομον, οτι φρονιμως επραξε· διοτι οι υιοι του αιωνος τουτου ειναι φρονιμωτεροι εις την εαυτων γενεαν παρα τους υιους του φωτος.

And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
