This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
12. ἐν τῷ ἀλλοτρίῳ. The expression refers to the faithlessness of the unjust steward. The lesson of the verse is that nothing which we possess on earth is our own; it is entrusted to us for temporary use (1Ch 29:14), which shall be rewarded by real and eternal possessions (1Pe 1:4). “Vitaque mancipio nulli datur, omnibus usu,” Lucr. III. 985.
