1. greed, covetousness — An insatiable desire for more, especially material possessions or advantage over others; greedy self-seeking that disregards the rights of others. All case forms (nominative, accusative, dative, genitive, singular and plural) converge on the same concept across translations: eng 'greed,' spa 'avaricia/codicia,' arb طَمَعٍ (tama', covetous desire), hin लोभ (lobh, greed), kor 탐욕 (tamyok, avarice), swa 'tamaa/ulafi' (greedy desire). Paul uses it of sexual exploitation (1 Thess 4:6), idolatry (Col 3:5), and general insatiability (Eph 5:3). 10×
