“If then,
You have not been faithful
With the dishonest wealth,
Who will entrust
To you
The true riches?”
εἰ οὖν ἐν τῷ ἀδίκῳ μαμωνᾷ πιστοὶ οὐκ ἐγένεσθε, τὸ ἀληθινὸν τίς ὑμῖν πιστεύσει;
Once again, this is a unique statement of Luke, not found in the other gospel stories. Luke indicated that Jesus said that if they had not been faithful (εἰ οὖν…πιστοὶ οὐκ ἐγένεσθε) with dishonest wealth (ἐν τῷ ἀδίκῳ μαμωνᾷ), who would entrust to them true riches (ἀληθινὸν τίς ὑμῖν πιστεύσει)? If they have not handled the mammon or dishonest money correctly, who would give them true wealth? Do you handle money well?
