Luke 16:12 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

If ye have not been faithful in that which was another's — None of these temporal things are yours: you are only stewards of them, not proprietors: God is the proprietor of all; he lodges them in your hands for a season: but still they are his property. Rich men, understand and consider this. If your steward uses any part of your estate (so called in the language of men) any farther or any otherwise than you direct, he is a knave: he has neither conscience nor honour. Neither have you either one or the other, if you use any part of that estate, which is in truth God's, not yours, any otherwise than he directs. That which is your own — Heaven, which when you have it, will be your own for ever.

Luke 16:12

12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
