Luke 16:10
Compare all
8 So the master commended the unjust steward because he had dealt shrewdly. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in their generation than athe sons of light.  
9 “And I say to you, amake friends for yourselves by unrighteous1 mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home.  
10 aHe who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much.  
11 Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 And if you have not been faithful in what is another man’s, who will give you what is your aown?  
13 a“No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”

14 Now the Pharisees, awho were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they1 derided Him.  
15 And He said to them, “You are those who ajustify yourselves bbefore men, but cGod knows your hearts. For dwhat is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

Luke 16:10

He, etc.—a maxim of great pregnancy and value; rising from the prudence which the steward had to the fidelity which he had not, the "harmlessness of the dove, to which the serpent" with all his "wisdom" is a total stranger. Fidelity depends not on the amount entrusted, but on the sense of responsibility. He that feels this in little will feel it in much, and conversely.
