Luke 16:8-12
8And his 1master complimented 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 8is all gone, 9they will receive you into the eternal dwellings.
10“10The one who is faithful in a very little thing is also faithful in much; and the one who is unrighteous in a very little thing is also unrighteous in much. 11Therefore if you have not 11been faithful in the use of unrighteous 1213wealth, who will entrust the true wealth to you? 12And if you have not 14been faithful in the use of that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
