Luk 16:12 | RWP | e4.org | That which is your own ( το υμετερον ). But Westcott and Hort read το ημετερον (our own) because of B L Origen. The difference is due to itacism in the pronunciation of υ- and η alike (long ). 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 Earthly wealth is ours as a loan, a trust, withdrawn at any moment.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 ( εν τω αλλοτριω ). If you did not prove faithful in this, who will give you what is really yours forever? Compare "rich toward God" ( ).

‏ Luke 16:12

That which is your own ( το υμετερον ). But Westcott and Hort read το ημετερον (our own) because of B L Origen. The difference is due to itacism in the pronunciation of υ- and η alike (long ). 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 Earthly wealth is ours as a loan, a trust, withdrawn at any moment.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 ( εν τω αλλοτριω ). If you did not prove faithful in this, who will give you what is really yours forever? Compare "rich toward God" (Lu 12:21).
