Exegesis
The verse begins with kai {καὶ | kaí} connecting this remark to the preceding parable, leading into the main clause where epainesen {ἐπῄνεσεν | epāínēsen} “he praised” takes ho kyrios {ὁ κύριος | ho kýrios} as its subject and ton oikonomon tēs adikias {τὸν οἰκονόμον τῆς ἀδικίας | tón oikonomón tês adikías} as its object, the genitive tēs adikias qualifying the steward’s unethical role.
Root and etymology
kyrkappa–upsilon–rho
“lord, master, one who has authority”
In context — Luke 16:8
And the master commended the steward of unrighteousness because he acted prudently; for the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of light when dealing with their own generation.
