10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

9 But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction.

24 "No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Mammon.

5 Put to death, therefore, whatever is worldly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;

3 But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints;

15 He said to them, "Beware! Keep yourselves from all covetousness, for a man's life does not consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses."

36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?

19 "Do not lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves do not break through and steal;

4 Do not weary yourself to be rich.In your wisdom, show restraint.

11 Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away,but he who gathers by hand makes it grow.

10 He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he who loves abundance, with increase: this also is vanity.

15 As he came forth from his mother's womb, naked shall he go again as he came, and shall take nothing for his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.

26 There are those who covet greedily all day long;but the righteous give and do not withhold.

6 For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God's service, attending continually on this very thing.

36 Turn my heart toward your statutes,not toward selfish gain.
