Exegesis
In the apodosis, the interrogative pronoun tis {τίς | tís} ‘who’ governs the future verb dōsei {δώσει | dṓ-sei} ‘will give,’ and its object is the accusative phrase to hymeteron {τὸ ὑμέτερον | tò hy-mé-te-ron} ‘what is your own.’ The contrast between managing another’s affairs and receiving rightful possessions sharpens the logical argument, and the consistent second person plural forms underscore communal accountability in stewardship.
In context — Luke 16:12
And if you were not faithful in another’s property , who will give you what is your own ?
