Luke 16:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 And I say unto you, Make you friends with the riches [a]of iniquity, that when ye shall want, they may receive you into everlasting [b]habitations.
10 [c]He that is faithful in the least, he is also faithful in much: and he that is unjust in the least, is unjust also in much.
11 If then ye have not been faithful in the wicked riches, who will trust you in the [d]true treasure?
