Luke 16:2

2 So ^{▼▼ Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the result of the reports the man received about his manager.} he called the manager ^{▼▼ Grk “him”; the referent (the manager) has been specified in the translation for clarity.} in and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? ^{▼▼ Although phrased as a question, the charges were believed by the owner, as his dismissal of the manager implies.} Turn in the account of your administration, ^{▼▼ Or “stewardship”; the Greek word οἰκονομία (oikonomia) is cognate with the noun for the manager (οἰκονόμος, oikonomos).} because you can no longer be my manager.’
