Definition Of Greed - Greed Always Works Under False Pretenses

Luke 11:39. Another key aspect of the definition of greed is that it is deceptive. Greedy people are scammers. They will deceive others so that they can take from people what is not theirs (Matthews 7:15, "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."). Many people that are greedy deceive themselves and others of their wickedness in order to continue in their life of greed (Luke 11:39, "And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness").
