Luke:12:15




rwp@Luke:12:15 @{From all covetousness} (\apo pasˆs pleonexias\). Ablative case. From every kind of greedy desire for more (\pleon\, more, \hexia\, from \ech“\, to have) an old word which we have robbed of its sinful aspects and refined to mean business thrift. {In the abundance of the things which he possesseth} (\en t“i perisseuein tini ek t“n huparchont“n aut“i\). A rather awkward Lukan idiom: "In the abounding (articular infinitive) to one out of the things belonging (articular participle) to him."
