# I say to you
"I" refers to Jesus. The phrase "I say to you" marks the end of the story and now Jesus tells the people how to apply the story to their lives.
# make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth # make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth
The focus here is on using the money to help other people. Alternate translation: "make people your friends by helping them with worldly wealth" "make people your friends by helping them with worldly wealth"
# by means of unrighteous wealth # the eternal dwellings
Possible meanings are 1) Jesus uses hyperbole when he calls money "unrighteous" because it has no eternal value. Alternate translation: "by using money, which has no eternal value" or "by using worldly money" or 2) Jesus uses metonymy when he calls money "unrighteous" because people sometimes earn it or use it in unrighteous ways. Alternate translation: "by using even money that you earned dishonestly" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-hyperbole]])
# they may welcome
Possible meanings are 1) "the friends you helped with your money may welcome" or 2) "God and his angels may welcome"
