{That which is your own} ( o h(966d)eteron). But Westcott and
Hort read o h(886d)eteron (our own) because of B L Origen. The
difference is due to itacism in the pronunciation of h(962d) and
h(885c) alike (long i). But the point in the passage calls for
"yours" as correct. Earthly wealth is ours as a loan, a trust,
withdrawn at any moment. It belongs to another (en t(9369)
allotri(9369)). If you did not prove faithful in this, who will give
you what is really yours forever? Compare "rich toward God" ( Lu
12:21 ).
