"See that ye gather not treasure together upon the earth, where rust and moths corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

Let your conversation be without covetousness, and be content with that ye have already. For he verily said, "I will not fail thee, neither forsake thee."

So is it with him that gathered riches, and is not rich in God."

Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not exceeding wise, and that they trust not in the uncertain riches, but in the living God, which giveth us abundantly all things to enjoy them,

"Have I put my trust in gold? Or, have I said to the finest gold of all, 'Thou art my confidence?'

Yea every man walketh as it were a shadow, and disquieteth himself in vain: he heapeth up riches, and cannot tell who shall gather them.

O trust not in wrong or robbery; give not yourselves unto vanity. If riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

Riches help not in the day of vengeance; but righteousness delivereth from death.

To have wisdom in possession is better than gold; and to get understanding is more worth than silver.

Take not over great travail and labour to be rich, beware of such a purpose.

He giveth unto man, what it pleaseth him; whether it be wisdom, understanding, or gladness. But unto the sinner he giveth weariness and sorrow, that he may gather and heap together the thing, that afterward shall be given unto him whom it pleaseth God. This is now a vain thing, yea a very disquietness and vexation of mind.

He that loveth money, will never be satisfied with money: and whoso delighteth in riches, shall have no profit thereof. Is not this also a vain thing?

Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in that wrathful day of the LORD, but the whole land shall be consumed through the fire of his jealousy: for he shall soon make clean riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

And Jesus said unto him, "If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give it to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me."

Sell that ye have, and give alms. And make you bags, which wax not old, and treasure that faileth not in heaven, where no thief cometh, neither moth corrupteth.

When Jesus heard that, he said unto him, "Yet lackest thou one thing. Sell all that thou hast, and distribute it unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, and follow me."

When Jesus saw him mourn, he said, "With what difficulty shall they that have riches, enter into the kingdom of God:

When we have food and raiment, let us therewith be content.

Go to now, ye rich men. Weep, and howl on your wretchedness that shall come upon you.

See that ye love not the world, nor the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the father is not in him.
