Luke 16:8-10
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
8 And the master praised the unrighteous steward because he acted shrewdly[a]. Because the sons of [b] this age are more shrewd in-relation-to their own kind than the sons of the light. 9 And I say to you— make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it fails[c] they[d] will welcome you into the eternal dwellings. 10 The one trustworthy[e] in a very-little thing is also trustworthy in much. And the one unrighteous in a very little thing is also unrighteous in much.
