'Possessions' in the Bible

How can someone go into a strong man's house and carry off his possessions without first tying up the strong man? Then he can ransack his house.

But when the young man heard this statement he went away sad, because he had many possessions.

No one can go into a strong man's house and carry off his possessions without first tying up the strong man. Then he can ransack his house.

Shocked at this statement, the man went away sad, because he had many possessions.

Then he told them, "Be careful to guard yourselves against every kind of greed, because a person's life doesn't consist of the amount of possessions he has."

"Sell your possessions, and give the money to the poor. Make yourselves wallets that don't wear out a dependable treasure in heaven, where no thief can get close and no moth can destroy anything.

In the same way, none of you can be my disciple unless he gives up all his possessions."

Later, Zacchaeus stood up and announced to the Lord, "Look! I'm giving half of my possessions to the destitute, and if I have accused anyone falsely, I'm repaying four times as much as I owe."

They made it their practice to sell their possessions and goods and to distribute the proceeds to anyone who was in need.

Now all the believers were one in heart and soul, and nobody called any of his possessions his own. Instead, they shared everything they owned.

For everything that is in the world the desire for fleshly gratification, the desire for possessions, and worldly arrogance is not from the Father but is from the world.

Whoever has earthly possessions and notices a brother in need and yet withholds his compassion from him, how can the love of God be present in him?
