A.T. Robertson Commentary Luke 16:10

"He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much: and he that is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much." — Luke 16:10 (ASV)

Faithful in a very little (πιστος εν ελαχιστω). Elative superlative. One of the profoundest sayings of Christ. We see it in business life. The man who can be trusted in a very small thing will be promoted to large responsibilities. That is the way men climb to the top. Men who embezzle in large sums began with small sums. Verses 10-13 here explain the point of the preceding parables.
