Luke 16:13 in Context — Luke 16
11 Pues si en las malas riquezas no fuisteis fieles, ¿quién os confiará lo verdadero?
12 Y si en lo ajeno no fuisteis fieles, ¿quién os dará lo que es vuestro?
13 Ningún siervo puede servir á dos señores; porque ó aborrecerá al uno y amará al otro, ó se allegará al uno y menospreciará al otro. No podéis servir á Dios y á las riquezas.
14 Y oían también todas estas cosas los Fariseos, los cuales eran avaros, y se burlaban de él.
15 Y díjoles: Vosotros sois los que os justificáis á vosotros mismos delante de los hombres; mas Dios conoce vuestros corazones; porque lo que los hombres [tienen] por sublime, delante de Dios es abominación.
