This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
That which is another's
God's. Riches are not ours, but given us in trust.
Your own
Equivalent to the true riches. That which forms part of our eternal being - the redeemed self. Compare the parable of the Rich Fool (Luk 12:20), where the life or soul is distinguished from the possessions. “Thy soul shall be required; whose shall the wealth be?” Compare, also, rich toward God (Luk 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.”
