And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends by means of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when it fails, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.

"Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness, that when ye fail, they may receive you into the everlasting habitations."
