About
being entrusted with very little…
I
tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is
gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings. † "Whoever can be
trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest
with very little will also be dishonest with much. † So if you have not been
trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? †
And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else's property, who will give
you property of your own? † "No servant can serve two masters. Either he
will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and
despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money." † For it is with
your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that
you confess and are saved. † As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in
him will never be put to shame." † For there is no difference between Jew
and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on
him, † The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the
faith and love that are in Christ Jesus †. Here is a trustworthy saying that
deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners--of
whom I am the worst. † But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in
me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as
an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life.
