This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Here (hōde). Either here on earth or in this matter. It is always local.
Moreover (loipon). Like loipon in 1Co 1:16 which see, accusative of general reference, as for what is left, besides.
It is required (zēteitai). It is sought. Many MSS. read zēteite, ye seek, an easy change as ai and e came to be pronounced alike (Robertson, Grammar, p. 186).
That a man be found faithful (hina pistos tis heurethēi). Non-final use of hina with first aorist passive subjunctive of heuriskō, the result of the seeking (zēteō). Fidelity is the essential requirement in all such human relationships, in other words, plain honesty in handling money like bank-clerks or in other positions of trust like public office.
