Luke 12:21 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

And is not rich towards God.— There is a force and propriety in the phrase εις θεον, here rendered towards God, which our language will not exactly express; it represents God as a depositary, in whose hands the good man has lodged his treasure, and who has as it were made himself accountable for it in another and better world. See Proverbs 19:17.

Luke 12:21

21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
