Luke 16:8-12

Christian Standard Bible

⁸ “The master praised the unrighteous manager^(A) because he had acted shrewdly. For the children of this age^(B) are more shrewd than the children of light^(C) in dealing with their own people.^{[a] 9} And I tell you, make friends^(D) for yourselves by means of worldly wealth^[b](E) so that when it fails, they may welcome you into eternal dwellings. ¹⁰ Whoever is faithful^(F) in very little^(G) is also faithful in much, and whoever is unrighteous in very little is also unrighteous in much. ¹¹ So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will trust you with what is genuine? ¹² And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to someone else, who will give you what is your own?
