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 evils, for which some being greedy, have strayed from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

9 But those who purpose to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which plunge people into ruin and destruction.

24 No one is able to serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. It is not possible to serve God and mammon.

5 Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: sexual perversion, uncleanness, passion, evil lusts, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

3 But sexual perversion and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for 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 beware of covetousness, for ones life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.

36 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?

19 Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves dig through and steal;20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not dig through and steal.

4 Do not overwork to be rich; cease from your own understanding.

11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished, but he who gathers with the labor of his hands shall 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 shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he who loves abundance, with gain. This also is vanity.

15 As he came forth from his mothers womb, naked he shall return, to go as he came. And from his labor he shall take away nothing that he may carry in his hand.

26 He covets greedily all day long, but the righteous gives and spares not.

6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are Gods ministers attending continually to this very thing.

36 Extend my heart to Your Testimonies, and not to unjust gain.
