Lucas 16:10

Listen to Lucas 16:10
10 “Quem é fiel no pouco, também é fiel no muito, e quem é desonesto no pouco, também é desonesto no muito.

Lucas 16:10 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 16:10

He that is faithful in that which is least
In quantity and quality, especially the latter; in that which is of little value and worth, at least when compared with other things:

is faithful also in much:
in matters of greater consequence and importance: the sense of the proverb is, that, generally speaking, a man that acts a faithful part in a small trust committed to him, does so likewise in a much larger; and being tried, and found faithful in things of less moment, he is intrusted with things of greater importance; though this is not always the case: for sometimes a man may behave with great integrity in lesser matters, on purpose that he might gain greater confidence, which, when he has obtained, he abuses in the vilest manner; but because it is usually otherwise, our Lord uses the common proverb; and of like sense is the following;

and he that is unjust in the least, is unjust also in much:
that man that acts the unfaithful part in a small matter, and of little worth, generally does the same, if a greater trust is committed to him.

Lucas 16:10 In-Context

8 “O senhor elogiou o administrador desonesto, porque agiu astutamente. Pois os filhos deste mundo são mais astutos no trato uns com os outros do que os filhos da luz.
9 Por isso, eu digo: Usem a riqueza deste mundo ímpio para ganhar amigos, de forma que, quando ela acabar, estes os recebam nas moradas eternas.
10 “Quem é fiel no pouco, também é fiel no muito, e quem é desonesto no pouco, também é desonesto no muito.
11 Assim, se vocês não forem dignos de confiança em lidar com as riquezas deste mundo ímpio, quem confiará as verdadeiras riquezas a vocês?
12 E se vocês não forem dignos de confiança em relação ao que é dos outros, quem lhes dará o que é de vocês?
