Luke 16:9

16:9 And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by how you use worldly wealth, ¹  so that when it runs out you will be welcomed ²  into the eternal homes. ³ 

Luke 20:35

20:35 But those who are regarded as worthy to share in ⁴  that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. ⁵ 

[16:9]  ¹ tn Grk “unrighteous mammon.” Mammon is the Aramaic term for wealth or possessions. The point is not that money is inherently evil, but that it is often misused so that it is a means of evil; see 1 Tim 6:6-10, 17-19. The call is to be generous and kind in its use. Zacchaeus becomes the example of this in Luke’s Gospel (19:1-10).

[16:9]  ² sn The passive refers to the welcome of heaven.

[16:9]  ³ tn Grk “eternal tents” (as dwelling places).

[20:35]  ⁴ tn Grk “to attain to.”

[20:35]  ⁵ sn Life in the age to come is different than life here (they neither marry nor are given in marriage). This means Jesus’ questioners had made a false assumption that life was the same both now and in the age to come.
