description	The concluding verse of the parable of the rich fool (Luke 12:16-21) warns about the consequences of not being, as it is typically translated, "rich toward God." The meaning of this phrase is most often explained as being "rich in God's sight," but parallel instances of the Greek construction suggest that the expression has the more specific meaning of giving one's wealth to God. Luke 12:21, therefore, is a NT example of imaging almsgiving as a gift directly to God.
