OET (OET-LV) And he_said to them:
Be_watching and be_keeping from all greediness, because the life of_him is not in the thing to_be_being_plentiful to_anyone, of the things possessing to_him.
OET (OET-RV) Then he told them, “Keep alert to avoid all greediness, because a person’s life is not about gaining lots of possessions.”

the_‹thing› /to_be/_abounding ˱to˲_anyone & of the_‹things› possessing ˱to˲_him
