Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
another man's . . . your own--an important turn to the subject. Here all we have is on trust as stewards, who have an account to render. Hereafter, what the faithful have will be their own property, being no longer on probation, but in secure, undisturbed, rightful, everlasting possession and enjoyment of all that is graciously bestowed on us. Thus money is neither to be idolized nor despised: we must sit loose to it and use it for God's glory.
unrighteous mammon--To the whole of this He applies the disparaging term "what is least," in contrast with "the true riches."
