“Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.”

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Let your conduct be without coveteousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.
