Luke 12:21

12:21 So it is with the one who stores up riches for himself, but is not rich toward God.”

Luke 16:11

16:11 If then you haven’t been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will entrust you with the true riches?

sn It is selfishness that is rebuked here, in the accumulation of riches for himself. Recall the emphasis on the first person pronouns throughout the parable.

tn Or “faithful.”

tn Grk “the unrighteous mammon.” See the note on the phrase “worldly wealth” in v. 9.

sn Entrust you with the true riches is a reference to future service for God. The idea is like 1 Cor 9:11, except there the imagery is reversed.
