Luke 16:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 If then ye have not been faithful in the wicked riches, who will trust you in the [a]true treasure?
12 And if ye have not been faithful in [b]another man’s goods, who shall give you that which is yours?
13 (A)[c]No servant can serve two masters: for either he shall hate the one, and love the other: or else he shall lean to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and riches.
