Luke 12:15

12:15 Then 1  he said to them, “Watch out and guard yourself from 2  all types of greed, 3  because one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

1 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

2 tn See L&N 13.154 for this use of the middle voice of φυλάσσω (fulassw) in this verse.

3 tn Or “avarice,” “covetousness.” Note the warning covers more than money and gets at the root attitude – the strong desire to acquire more and more possessions and experiences.
