Definition and Etymology:
The term "else's" is a possessive form of the word "else," which is used to indicate something belonging to another person or thing. In the context of biblical literature, "else" often appears in discussions of alternative actions, choices, or conditions. The possessive form "else's" is not directly found in the Bible, but the concept of belonging or possession is a recurring theme throughout Scripture.

Biblical Context:
While the specific term "else's" does not appear in the Bible, the concept of possession and belonging is significant in biblical teachings. The Bible frequently addresses the idea of what belongs to God, to individuals, and to others. This is often seen in the context of stewardship, covetousness, and the sharing of resources.

Stewardship and Possession:
The Bible emphasizes the importance of recognizing that all possessions ultimately belong to God. In Psalm 24:1 , it is written, "The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof, the world and all who dwell therein." This verse underscores the belief that everything in creation is under God's dominion, and humans are merely stewards of His resources.

Covetousness and Respect for Others' Possessions:
The Ten Commandments address the issue of covetousness, which is the desire for what belongs to someone else. Exodus 20:17 states, "You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor." This commandment highlights the importance of respecting others' possessions and being content with what one has.

Sharing and Generosity:
The New Testament encourages believers to share their possessions with those in need. Acts 4:32 describes the early Christian community: "All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had." This passage illustrates the ideal of communal living and generosity, where personal possessions are used for the common good.

Theological Implications:
The concept of possession in the Bible is deeply tied to the understanding of God's sovereignty and human responsibility. Believers are called to be faithful stewards of what God has entrusted to them, recognizing that their possessions are not ultimately their own but are to be used for God's purposes and the benefit of others.

Practical Application:
In practical terms, Christians are encouraged to view their possessions as tools for service and ministry. This perspective fosters a spirit of generosity and deters the selfish desire for what belongs to others. By acknowledging God's ownership of all things, believers can cultivate a lifestyle of gratitude and contentment, trusting in God's provision and timing.
