Luke 12:15 | |
NASB: Then He said to them, "Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not [even] when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions." (NASB ©1995) GWT: He told the people, "Be careful to guard yourselves from every kind of greed. Life is not about having a lot of material possessions." (GOD'S WORD®) KJV: And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. ASV: And he said unto them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. BBE: And he said to them, Take care to keep yourselves free from the desire for property; for a man's life is not made up of the number of things which he has. DBY: And he said to them, Take heed and keep yourselves from all covetousness, for it is not because a man is in abundance that his life is in his possessions. WEY: And to the people He said, "Take care, be on your guard against all covetousness, for no one's life consists in the superabundance of his possessions." WBS: And he said to them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. WEB: He said to them, "Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man's life doesn't consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses." YLT: And he said unto them, 'Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because not in the abundance of one's goods is his life.' | |
