Greek Commentary for Luke 16:12
But Westcott and Hort read το ημετερον to hēmeteron (our own) because of B L Origen. The difference is due to itacism in the pronunciation of hū - and η hē 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 Earthly wealth is ours as a loan, a trust, withdrawn at any moment.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 If you did not prove faithful in this, who will give you what is really yours forever? Compare “rich toward God” (Luke 12:21). [source]
God's. Riches are not ours, but given us in trust. [source]
Equivalent to the true riches. That which forms part of our eternal being - the redeemed self. Compare the parable of the Rich Fool (Luke 12:20), where the life or soul is distinguished from thepossessions. “Thy soul shall be required; whose shall the wealth be?” Compare, also, rich toward God (Luke 12:21). Chrysostom, cited by Trench, says of Abraham and Job, “They did not serve mammon, but possessed and ruled themselves, and were masters, and not servants.” [source]
