Luke 12:15

tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

tn See L&N 13.154 for this use of the middle voice of φυλάσσω (phulassō) in this verse.

tn Or “avarice,” “covetousness.” Note the warning covers more than money and gets at the root attitude—the strong desire to acquire more and more possessions and experiences.
