πλουτέω

Luke 1:53 πλουτοῦντας [those] being rich

He has filled the hungry with good things, but has sent the rich away empty.

Here: "People who are rich": a present participle with no article, like 'hungry' in the first line. It means people who have wealth, and it is the direct opposite of the hungry.

Luke 12:21 πλουτῶν. being rich.

This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

Here: Also a present participle, describing an ongoing state. Placed at the very end, it takes up the 'rich man' of v. 16 and turns it around: he was rich, just not toward God.

Romans 10:12 πλουτῶν is rich

For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: The same Lord is Lord of all, and gives richly to all who call on Him,

Here: Literally "being rich". With "toward" it pictures a wealthy patron whose resources pour out to others: rich *toward* people, not just rich in himself. The present participle describes something he characteristically does.

1 Corinthians 4:8 ἐπλουτήσατε, you have been enriched,

Already you have all you want. Already you have become rich. Without us, you have become kings. How I wish you really were kings, so that we might be kings with you!

Here: 'You have become rich' (the past tense marks a point of entry: you got rich). It echoes 1:5, where Paul thanked God that they were 'enriched in every way, in all speech and all knowledge.'

2 Corinthians 8:9 πλουτήσητε. may be enriched.

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.

Here: "You might become rich": the form points to entering a state, not simply being in one. In context the wealth is what Christ gives them (see 8:7, "you abound in everything") and which overflows into generosity (9:11).

1 Timothy 6:9 πλουτεῖν to be rich

Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction.

Here: 'To be rich', the state of having plenty. What these people want is to have more than enough, in contrast to the 'food and clothing' of verse 8.

1 Timothy 6:18 πλουτεῖν to be rich

Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, and to be generous and ready to share,

Here: The same word-family as 'the rich' (plousioi) and 'richly' in v. 17. Paul deliberately reuses it: people who are rich in money are told to become rich in a different currency.

Revelation 3:17 πεπλούτηκα I have grown rich

You say, ‘I am rich; I have grown wealthy and need nothing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked.

Here: The Greek perfect tense: 'I have grown rich, and I stay rich.' It restates the first claim as something achieved and settled. The same verb form appears in Ephraim's boast in the Greek Old Testament (Hosea 12:9 LXX).

Revelation 3:18 πλουτήσῃς, you may be rich,

I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, white garments so that you may be clothed and your shameful nakedness not exposed, and salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.

Here: The aorist here means 'become rich'. It answers the boast in v.17, 'I have become rich' (πεπλούτηκα, from the same verb). Their wealth is not real; Christ offers the real thing.

Revelation 18:3 ἐπλούτησαν.¶ were enriched.

All the nations have drunk the wine of the passion of her immorality. The kings of the earth were immoral with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown wealthy from the extravagance of her luxury.”

Here: A simple past verb meaning 'grew rich'. Their wealth came from feeding her appetite, and so does their grief when she falls (18:15–19).

Revelation 18:15 πλουτήσαντες having been enriched

The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand at a distance, in fear of her torment. They will weep and mourn,

Here: This past-tense form presents their getting rich as a completed fact: they became wealthy. Their fortunes were made by dealing with her.

Revelation 18:19 ἐπλούτησαν were enriched

Then they will throw dust on their heads as they weep and mourn and cry out: “Woe, woe to the great city, where all who had ships on the sea were enriched by her wealth! For in a single hour she has been destroyed.”

Here: An active past-tense verb: they became rich, they got rich. It is the same verb used of the merchants (vv. 3, 15) and of Laodicea's boast "I have become rich" (3:17).
