Luke 16:10-12
New English Translation

10 “The one who is faithful in a very little[a] is also faithful in much, and the one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. 11 If then you haven’t been trustworthy[b] in handling worldly wealth,[c] who will entrust you with the true riches?[d] 12 And if you haven’t been trustworthy[e] with someone else’s property,[f] who will give you your own[g] ?
