Luke 16:7-15

⁷Afterward he said to another, And how much owest thou? Which answered, An hundred cors or measures of wheat. And he said to him, Take thy letters, and write fourscore.

⁹And I say to you, make ye to you friends of the riches of wickedness, that when ye shall fail, they receive you into everlasting tabernacles.

¹⁰He that is true or faithful in the least thing, is true or faithful also in the more; and he that is wicked in a little thing, is wicked also in the more.

¹¹Therefore if ye were not true in the wicked thing of riches or in the wicked riches, who shall betake to you that that is very? or that is sooth?

¹²And if ye were not true in other men’s thing, who shall give to you that that is yours?

¹³No servant may serve to two lords; for either he shall hate the one, and love the other; either he shall draw or cleave to the one, and despise the other. Ye may not serve to God and to riches.

¹⁵And he said to them, Ye it be, that justify you before men; but God hath known your hearts or God knoweth your hearts, for that that is high to men, is abomination before God.
