Note 1 — PART IV.
Reading edition
The two Greek words to which we have alluded in the text are, πλεονεξια (pleonexia—the desire to get more), and φιλαργυρια (philarguria—the love of money). Now it is the former that occurs in Col. iii. 5—"Covetousness, which is idolatry;" and there it stands in the terrible category with some of the very vilest sins that stain the pages of human history.
