GREED
(there is no corresponding Hebrew word). Coveting other people’s goods is condemned in the Decalogue (Ex. 20:17; Deut. 5:21) and combated by the prophets (Jer. 22:17). Greed consumes life (Prov. 1:19).
Goods do not guarantee any security (Lk. 12:15) and, on the other hand, they bring worry; his desire becomes insatiable; Greed is short-sighted; The worship of wealth becomes a religion of compensation and is therefore idolatry (Col. 3:5).
The New Testament teaches Christians to deny themselves, not to put their trust in riches, and to follow the example of Christ (Mt. 16:24; Rom. 6:11).
