1 tn In the Greek text this clause is actually subordinate to περιπατεῖ (peripatei) in v. 17. It was broken up in the English translation so as to avoid an unnecessarily long and cumbersome statement.
2 sn Greediness refers to an increasing desire for more and more. The point is that sinful passions and desires are never satisfied.
