Exegesis
Finally, the prepositional phrase eis tas aiōníous skēnás {εἰς τὰς αἰωνίους σκηνάς | eis tás aiōníous skēnás} ‘into the eternal dwellings’ sets the eschatological destination. The Greek structure couples a source genitive with a purpose-subjunctive clause to highlight the temporary nature of material resources and the enduring outcome of relational investment.
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 .
