Luke 16:9-15

New American Standard Bible

⁹ And I say to you, ^(A)make friends for yourselves by means of the ^[a](B)wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it ^[b]is all gone, ^(C)they will receive you into the eternal dwellings.

¹⁰ “^(D)The 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. ¹¹ Therefore if you have not ^[c]been faithful in the use of unrighteous ^[d](E)wealth, who will entrust the true wealth to you? ¹² And if you have not ^[e]been faithful in the use of that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own? ^13 (F)No ^[f]servant 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 ^[g](G)wealth.”

¹⁴ Now the Pharisees, who were ^(H)lovers of money, were listening to all these things and ^(I)were ^[h]ridiculing Him. ¹⁵ And He said to them, “You are the ones who ^(J)justify yourselves in the sight of people, but ^(K)God knows your hearts; because that which is highly esteemed among people is detestable in the sight of God.
