 “That they may receive you” is equivalent to “that you may be received”-a common form of expression in Luke to designate the fact without speaking of the individuals that perform it, although using the word they. (Luke 16 by J.N. Darby)
 {unrighteousness} These riches are unrighteous, in that they belong to fallen man and not to the heavenly man, nor had any place when Adam was innocent. (Luke 16 by J.N. Darby)
 Earthly possessions, money and the like, are “the mammon of unrighteousness,” because they are the things in which man’s unrighteousness is mostly displayed, though in themselves they are not intrinsically unrighteous. (Luke 16 by F.B. Hole)

a
This reading of the Edd. is beyond doubt preponderant authority over "ye fail," though it is difficult to see its superior force or even propriety.
b
The meaning of the words "that they may receive you" is simply "that ye may be received into everlasting habitations." There is no stress to be laid on the form of the phrase "they may receive you." Literally this might hold good on earth, as we see in verse 4, but spiritually it simply means "that ye may be received." God alone receives into heaven: no one else has a title to receive there. Luke frequently uses the third person plural of the active verb, in a sort of indefinite way, to express that which would be best rendered by the English passive voice. It is thus that our translators have rightly given {vi 25480}{/vi}, "thy soul shall be required," though literally it runs, "do they require thy soul."
