Exegesis
The subjunctive dexontai {δέξωνται | déxōntai} ‘they may receive’ (with humas {ὑμᾶς | hūmâs} ‘you’ as object) implies the friends act as hosts.
In context — Luke 16:9
And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of the mammon of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, they will receive you into the eternal dwellings .
