⁹ And I tell you, ^(A)make friends for yourselves by means of ^(B)unrighteous wealth,^[a] so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings.

^10 (C)“One who is ^(D)faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. ¹¹ If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? ¹² And if you have not been faithful in ^(E)that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? ^13 (F)No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.”

Christ Has Set Us Free

5 For ^(A)freedom Christ has ^(B)set us free; ^(C)stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to ^(D)a yoke of ^(E)slavery.

The Collection for the Saints

16 Now concerning^{[a] (A)}the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do. ² On ^(B)the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, ^(C)as he may prosper, ^(D)so that there will be no collecting when I come.

¹² For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable ^(A)according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have.
