  **Show the text**

  3 We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

  4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have toward all the saints,

  5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News

  6 which has come to you, even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and growing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth,

- Gospel

  Luke 16:10–15

  **Show the text**

  10 He 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.

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

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

  13 No 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.”

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

  15 He 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.
