9. ⌊Jesus continued,⌋ “I’m telling you that although wealth is often used in dishonest ways, you should use it to make friends for yourselves. When life is over, you will be welcomed into an eternal home.
10. Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with a lot. Whoever is dishonest with very little is dishonest with a lot.
11. Therefore, if you can’t be trusted with wealth that is often used dishonestly, who will trust you with wealth that is real?
12. If you can’t be trusted with someone else’s wealth, who will give you your own?
13. “A servant cannot serve two masters. He will hate the first master and love the second, or he will be devoted to the first and despise the second. You cannot serve God and wealth.”
14. The Pharisees, who love money, heard all this and were making sarcastic remarks about him.
