Ganância

Por Bíblia Online –

A ganância é raiz de todos os males. A Bíblia alerta contra a cobiça, o acúmulo egoísta e o amor ao dinheiro, chamando-nos ao contentamento e à confiança em Deus.

O amor ao dinheiro

O amor ao dinheiro é raiz de todos os males. Quem quer enriquecer cai em tentação, armadilha e desejos insensatos.

10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

9 But those who are minded to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful desires, such as drown men in destruction and perdition.

24 And if you{} lend to them of whom you{} hope to receive, what thanks is it to you{}? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive again as much.

5 Put to death therefore your{} members which are on the earth: fornication, impurity, immoral sexual passion, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry;

3 But fornication, all impurity, or greed, don't let it even be named among you{}, as becomes saints;

Contentamento

Tende cuidado e guardai-vos de toda espécie de ganância. A vida de um homem não consiste na abundância dos bens que possui.

15 And he said to them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all greed: for a man's life does not consist in the abundance of the things which he possesses.

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

19 and from him who takes away your cloak don't withhold your coat also.20 Give to everyone who asks you; and of him who takes away your goods don't ask [for them] back.

11 Wealth gotten by vanity will be diminished; But he who gathers by labor will have increase.

Riqueza ilusória

As riquezas são passageiras. Quem ama o dinheiro nunca terá o suficiente. O contentamento com o que se tem é verdadeira riqueza.

10 He who loves silver will 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 he will go again as he came, and will take nothing for his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.

26 There is one who covets greedily all the day long; But the righteous gives and does not withhold.

6 For this cause you{} pay taxes also; for they are ministers of God's service, attending continually on this very thing.

36 Incline my heart to your testimonies, And not to covetousness.
