Luke 16:8-18

⁸And his lord was pleased with the false servant, because he had been wise; for the sons of this world are wiser in relation to their generation than the sons of light.

⁹And I say to you, Make friends for yourselves through the wealth of this life, so that when it comes to an end, you may be taken into the eternal resting-places.

¹⁰He who is true in a little, is true in much; he who is false in small things, is false in great.

¹¹If, then, you have not been true in your use of the wealth of this life, who will give into your care the true wealth?

¹²And if you have not been true in your care of the property of other people, who will give you that which is yours?

¹³No man may be a servant to two masters: for he will have hate for the one and love for the other; or he will keep to the one and have no respect for the other. You may not be servants of God and of wealth.

¹⁴And the Pharisees, who had a great love of money, hearing these things, were making sport of him.

¹⁵And he said, You take care to seem right in the eyes of men, but God sees your hearts: and those things which are important in the opinion of men, are evil in the eyes of God.

¹⁶The law and the prophets were till John: but then came the preaching of the kingdom of God, and everyone makes his way into it by force.

¹⁷But heaven and earth will come to an end before the smallest letter of the law may be dropped out.

¹⁸Everyone who puts away his wife and takes another, is a false husband: and he who is married to a woman whose husband has put her away, is no true husband to her.
