17 As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy.
1 Timothy 6
8 But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content.9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.
Ecclesiastes 5
13 There is a grievous evil that I have seen under the sun: riches were kept by their owner to his hurt,14 and those riches were lost in a bad venture. And he is father of a son, but he has nothing in his hand.
John 6
27 Do not labor for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal.”
Matthew 6
19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust
destroy and where thieves break in and steal,
Proverbs 23
4 Do not toil to acquire wealth; be discerning enough to desist.5 When your eyes light on it, it is gone, for suddenly it sprouts wings, flying like an eagle toward heaven.
Proverbs 27
24 for riches do not last forever; and does a crown endure to all generations?
