  ¹⁰He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.

  ¹¹If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

  ¹²If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?

  ¹³No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You aren’t able to serve God and Mammon.”

  ¹⁴The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.

  ¹⁵He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
