Verse 12
And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?
See under preceding verse, where the same thought is given a little differently.
This verse lays down, unqualifiedly, a law which makes the right use of one's possession a condition of eternal life, for giving unto a man of that "which is your own" can mean nothing if not eternal life. Concepts like "accepting Christ," "surrendering to Christ," and "taking up the cross," etc., are meaningless unless related to the use of one's material possessions.
