9 And I say to you, (A)make friends for yourselves from the [a](B)wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, (C)they will [b]take you into the eternal dwellings.
10 “(D)He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much, and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much. 11 Therefore if you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous [c](E)wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you?
