Luke 16:9-13

9And I say to you, 1make friends for yourselves by means of the 23wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it 4is all gone, 5they will receive you into the eternal dwellings.

10“6The 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 7been faithful in the use of unrighteous 89wealth, who will entrust the true wealth to you? 12And if you have not 10been faithful in the use of that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own? 1311No 12servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and 1314wealth.”
