{From all covetousness} (apo pas(8873) pleonexias). Ablative
case. From every kind of greedy desire for more (pleon, more,
hexia, from ech(935c), to have) an old word which we have robbed
of its sinful aspects and refined to mean business thrift. {In
the abundance of the things which he possesseth} (en t(9369)
perisseuein tini ek t(936e) huparchont(936e) aut(9369)). A rather awkward
Lukan idiom: "In the abounding (articular infinitive) to one out
of the things belonging (articular participle) to him."
