KJV Word TypeNoun
DefinitionThe worship of idols or false gods — whether physical images or any person, thing, or desire that takes the place of God in one's life. Expressly forbidden throughout Scripture. Paul identifies covetousness as a form of idolatry, broadening the concept beyond physical images to any ultimate devotion that displaces God.
