'Means' in the Bible

And [while] a large crowd was gathering and [they] were going to him from town [after town], he spoke by means of a parable:

Now the parable means this: the seed is the word of God,

And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it runs out they will welcome you into the eternal dwellings.

For these all put [gifts] into the offering out of their abundance, but this [woman] out of her poverty put in all the means of subsistence that she had."
