Covetousness
Covetousness
Greed is an insatiable desire for material gain or social value, such as status or power sometimes at the expense of others in the community.
"It is possible that those who are in no way pressed down with the weight of money may be condemned with the covetous in disposition and intent. For it was the opportunity of possessing which was wanting in their case, and not the will for it."
"Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."
