New American Standard Bible 1995
Luke 16:8-12
8And his 1master praised the unrighteous manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the sons of 2this age are more shrewd in relation to their own 3kind than the 4sons of light. 9And I say to you, 5make friends for yourselves by means of the 67wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, 8they will receive you into the eternal dwellings.
10“9He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much. 11Therefore if you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous 1011wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you? 12And if you have not been faithful in the use of that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
