משנה, פרקי אבות ג:ז
רבי אלעזר איש ברתותא אומר תן לו משלו שאתה ושלך שלו וכן בדוד הוא אומר (דברי הימים א' כ"ט) כי ממך הכל ומידך נתנו לך.
R. Eleazar of Bertotha said: Give to God that which is God’s, for you and what you have are God’s; even so [we find it expressed] in [the case of] David, [when] he said: For all things come of You, and of Your own have we given You.
[Soncino translation]
Suggested Discussion Questions:
1. What does it mean that all that is ours is actually God's?
2. How might this concept impact how we relate to our stuff?
