Strong’s Greek 4674 is the inspired writers’ way of expressing the profoundly personal idea of “belonging to you.” Whenever the form appears, the Holy Spirit anchors the truth that life under God is never abstract; it is always personal, relational, and accountable. By attaching this pronoun to diverse nouns—fields, disciples, will, word, thanksgiving, even the Son’s own mission—Scripture reminds every reader that God deals with individuals who actually possess, steward, surrender, or misapply the things entrusted to them.

Occurrences in the Teaching of Jesus

1. Self-examination and integrity (Matthew 7:3). The Lord contrasts the “speck in your brother’s eye” with “the beam in your own eye,” pressing home that moral discernment begins with personal responsibility.
2. Authentic ministry (Matthew 7:22). Many will claim, “Did we not prophesy in Your name?” Yet merely invoking what is “Yours”—the Lord’s name—without obedience proves empty.
3. Kingdom stewardship (Matthew 13:27; 20:14; 25:25). Jesus’ parables use 4674 to emphasize that what servants handle is their master’s possession: “your field,” “your pay,” “your talent.” Accountability at judgment hinges on how one treats what is not ultimately one’s own.
4. Submission in Gethsemane (Luke 22:42). “Yet not My will, but Yours be done.” The most decisive moment of redemptive history is framed by a contrast between what is Christ’s and what is the Father’s. Redemption is accomplished when the Son surrenders everything that is “His” to all that is “Yours.”

Sacred Possession in the High-Priestly Prayer

In John 17 the pronoun occurs six times, climaxing Jesus’ revelation of the Father-Son relationship and the believer’s place within it:

• John 17:6 – the redeemed are “Yours.”
• John 17:9 – “for they are Yours.”
• John 17:10 – “All I have is Yours, and all You have is Mine.”
• John 17:17 – “Your word is truth.”

Here “Yours” is not mere grammar; it is covenant theology in miniature. Everything the Son mediates to the disciples—eternal life, revelation, protection, sanctification—derives from what is eternally the Father’s. The security of believers rests on divine ownership long before human response.

Dialogue, Discipleship, and Mission

Mark 2:18 and Luke 5:33 set “Your disciples” against the disciples of John and the Pharisees. The term stresses exclusive allegiance: the Pharisees cannot co-opt those whom Christ owns. In Mark 5:19 the delivered demoniac is commissioned, “Go home to your people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you.” Personal testimony grows out of personal deliverance.

Stewardship and Property in Acts

Acts 5:4 exposes Ananias: “Did it not belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, was the money not at your disposal?” 4674 secures the principle that generosity must be voluntary; coercion corrupts gospel giving. Likewise, legal oratory before Felix (Acts 24:2, 4) flatters “your foresight” and “your indulgence,” revealing how early Christians navigated Roman jurisprudence while respecting legitimate authority.

Pauline Ethics and Edification

1 Corinthians 8:11 warns that “your knowledge” can destroy a weaker brother; personal liberty is never isolated from corporate love. In worship (1 Corinthians 14:16) “your thanksgiving” must be intelligible so that the uninstructed can say “Amen.” Philemon 14 elevates voluntary action: “your consent” safeguards genuine goodness. Each verse uses 4674 to affirm that sanctification involves conscious, willful choices by believers.

Eschatological Perspective

Matthew 24:3 records the disciples’ question about “Your coming.” The same pronoun that stresses present relationship guarantees a future reunion. What is “His” now—His advent glory—will be shared openly when He returns.

Doctrinal Synthesis

1. Divine ownership precedes human stewardship. Believers belong to God before they believe (John 17:6, 9).
2. True discipleship requires surrender of what is “ours” to what is “His” (Luke 22:42).
3. Ministry flows from personal experience of grace (Mark 5:19).
4. Christian liberty and knowledge must be governed by love for those affected (1 Corinthians 8:11).
5. Final judgment measures faithfulness in handling another’s trust (Matthew 25:25).

Pastoral and Devotional Implications

• When praying, consciously acknowledge that every request, possession, and relationship is “Yours,” reinforcing humility and dependence.
• In teaching, highlight the personal pronouns of Scripture; they safeguard doctrine from abstraction and anchor truth in covenant relationship.
• In counseling, show that surrendering individual “rights” to God’s will is the pathway to peace, modeled by Christ Himself.

Strong’s 4674 may appear small, but it quietly proclaims one of Scripture’s grandest themes: everything we are and have finds its meaning only in relation to the One to whom it ultimately, eternally belongs.
