Luke 16:10-12

Context

16:10 “The one who is faithful in a very little 1  is also faithful in much, and the one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. 16:11 If then you haven’t been trustworthy 2  in handling worldly wealth, 3  who will entrust you with the true riches? 4  16:12 And if you haven’t been trustworthy 5  with someone else’s property, 6  who will give you your own 7 ?
