Shrewdly, wisely, with practical good sense and clever discernment
Jesus commends the dishonest manager for acting φρονίμως—shrewdly (Luke 16:8). The adverb derives from φρόνιμος (sensible, prudent, showing presence of mind), and in this context carries morally ambiguous overtones: the manager showed more practical wisdom in securing his future than children of light show in theirs. The term doesn't endorse dishonesty but highlights shrewd calculation and foresight. Classical usage ranged from 'sensibly' to 'cleverly,' and Jesus's parable plays on the tension: worldly people exercise more strategic intelligence about their priorities than believers about theirs. Shrewdness need not be sinful.

1. sense 1 — Shrewdly, with practical wisdom and clever discernment; sensibly calculating means to ends. Luke 16:8 uses this adverb in Jesus's surprising commendation of the dishonest manager, who acted φρονίμως in securing his future—not endorsing dishonesty but highlighting strategic foresight. The adverb (from φρόνιμος = prudent/sensible) indicates presence of mind and practical intelligence applied to one's circumstances, here ironically possessed more by worldly people than by children of light. 1×
