Luke 16:8-10
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
8 And [his] master praised the dishonest (unjust) manager for acting [a]shrewdly and [b]prudently; for the sons of this age are shrewder and more prudent and wiser in [[c]relation to] their own generation [to their own age and [d]kind] than are the sons of light.
9 And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous mammon ([e]deceitful riches, money, possessions), so that when it fails, they [those you have favored] may receive and welcome you into the everlasting habitations (dwellings).
10 He who is faithful in a very little [thing] is faithful also in much, and he who is dishonest and unjust in a very little [thing] is dishonest and unjust also in much.
