إِنْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا أُمَنَاءَ في المَالِ الخَائِن، فَمَنْ يَأْتَمِنُكُم عَلَى الخَيْرِ الحَقِيقيّ
إنجيل القدّيس لوقا16/من09حتى12/”قالَ الربُّ يَسوع لِتَلامِيذِهِ: «إِصْنَعُوا لَكُم أَصْدِقاءَ بِالمَالِ الخَائِن، حَتَّى إِذا نَفَد، قَبِلَكُمُ الأَصْدِقاءُ في المَظَالِّ الأَبَدِيَّة. أَلأَمِينُ في القَلِيلِ أَمينٌ في الكَثِير. والخَائِنُ في القَلِيلِ خَائِنٌ أَيْضًا في الكَثير. إِنْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا أُمَنَاءَ في المَالِ الخَائِن، فَمَنْ يَأْتَمِنُكُم عَلَى الخَيْرِ الحَقِيقيّ؟وَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا أُمَنَاءَ في مَا لَيْسَ لَكُم، فَمَنْ يُعْطِيكُم مَا هُوَ لَكُم؟”
And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own?
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 16/09-12: “I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of dishonest wealth so that when it is gone, they may welcome you into the eternal homes. ‘Whoever is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and whoever is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much. If then you have not been faithful with the dishonest wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own?”
