WORD Research this...Luke 16
- 1 He also said to his disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.
- 2 He called him, and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’
- 3 “The manager said within himself, ‘What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I don’t have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
- 4 I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’
- 5 Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’
- 6 He said, ‘A hundred batosof oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’
- 7 Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred corsof wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’
- 8 “His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light.
- 9 I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents.
- 10 He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
- 11 If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
- 12 If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
- 13 No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You aren’t able to serve God and Mammon.”
- 14 The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
- 15 He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
- 16 The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the Good News of the Kingdom of God is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
- 17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the law to fall.
- 18 Everyone who divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
- 19 “Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
- 20 A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was laid at his gate, full of sores,
- 21 and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
- 22 The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.
- 23 In Hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom.
- 24 He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.’
- 25 “But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But now here he is comforted and you are in anguish.
- 26 Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’
- 27 “He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house;
- 28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’
- 29 “But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’
- 30 “He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’
- 31 “He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”

Basic Hash Usage Explained
At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.
We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.
Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.
Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.
Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.
The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.
We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.
Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
