Team definition
A noun meaning riches, wealth, or abundance. It is usually masculine (ὁ) and, in several Pauline passages including 2 Cor 8:2, Eph 1:7; 2:7; 3:8, 16, Phil 4:19, and Col 1:27; 2:2, also neuter (τό). It names external possessions (Matt 13:22; Mark 4:19; Luke 8:14; 1 Tim 6:17; Jas 5:2) and abundance in moral or other non-material conceptions (Rom 2:4; 9:23; 11:12, 33; Phil 4:19). Gender in a given verse is a textual question, not decided here.
