Exegesis
The imperative poiesate {ποιήσατε | poiḗsate} ‘make’ with the accusative philous {φίλους | phílous} ‘friends’ and the reflexive heautois {ἑαυτοῖς | heautoîs} ‘for yourselves’ forms the central command.
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 .
