The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, like an unscalable wall in his own imagination.

Riches don’t profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.

A good name is more desirable than great riches, and loving favor is better than silver and gold.

How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! Yes, to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

As sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things.

Charge those who are rich in this present age that they not be arrogant, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy.

You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.

As he came out of his mother’s womb, naked shall he go again as he came, and shall take nothing for his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.

Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal.

For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?

But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation, a snare, and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction.

He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This also is vanity.

Remove far from me falsehood and lies. Give me neither poverty nor riches. Feed me with the food that is needful for me.

The ransom of a man’s life is his riches, but the poor hear no threats.

While we don’t look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Then I saw all the labor and achievement that is the envy of a man’s neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

When goods increase, those who eat them are increased; and what advantage is there to its owner, except to feast on them with his eyes?

Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.

There are those who covet greedily all day long; but the righteous give and don’t withhold.

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted. Therefore they have forgotten me.

No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t serve both God and Mammon.

Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, “I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.”

Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, “I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.”

The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.

He answered them, “He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise.”

For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out. But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.

Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety, not with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing, but with good works, which is appropriate for women professing godliness.

Better is little, with the fear of Yahweh, than great treasure with trouble.

“Yahweh is my portion,” says my soul. “Therefore I will hope in him.”
