Luke 12:15–21: Is Greed With Money a Sin?
Jesus answers a request about an inheritance with a warning to guard against greed, then tells of a rich man whose barns could not secure his future. Greed is sin because it treats possessions as the measure and security of life instead of being rich toward God.
Luke 12:13–21: Who Was the Greedy Man?
Jesus declines to settle an inheritance dispute and instead warns the crowd about covetousness. The rich fool is condemned not for farming well but for counting his goods as his life.
