Luke 16:8-12

8And his 1masterG2962 praisedG1867 the unrighteousG93 managerG3623 becauseG3754 he had actedG4160 shrewdlyG5430; for the sonsG5207 of 2thisG3778 ageG165 are moreG5429 shrewdG5429 in relationG1519 to their ownG1438 3kindG1074 thanG5228 the 4sonsG5207 of lightG5457. 9And I sayG3004 to you, 5makeG4160 friendsG5384 for yourselvesG1438 by meansG1537 of the 6 7wealthG3126 of unrighteousnessG93, soG2443 that whenG3752 it failsG1587, 8they will receiveG1209 you into the eternalG166 dwellingsG4633.

10“9He who is faithfulG4103 in a veryG1646 littleG1646 thingG1646 is faithfulG4103 alsoG2532 in muchG4183; and he who is unrighteousG94 in a veryG1646 littleG1646 thingG1646 is unrighteousG94 alsoG2532 in muchG4183. 11ThereforeG3767 ifG1487 you have not beenG1096 faithfulG4103 in the use of unrighteousG94 10 11wealthG3126, whoG5101 will entrustG4100 the trueG228 riches to you? 12And ifG1487 you have not beenG1096 faithfulG4103 in the use of that which is another’sG245, whoG5101 will giveG1325 you that which is your own?
