1 Timothy 6:9

Do not weary yourself to gain wealth, Because of your understanding, cease!

A faithful man will abound with blessings, But he who makes haste to be rich will not go unpunished.

“Those who buy them slaughter them and are not held guilty, and each of those who sell them says, ‘Blessed be Yahweh. Indeed, I have become rich!’ And their own shepherds do not spare them.

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

“And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the one who hears the word, and the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

but the worries of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for anything else enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

Then He said to them, “Watch out and be on your guard against every form of greed, for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.”

And he must have a good reputation with those outside the church, so that he will not fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty or to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy.

instructing us that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live sensibly, righteously, and godly in the present age,

Come now, you rich, cry, howling over your miseries which are coming upon you.
