I Corinthians 3:19
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in
their own craftiness.
II Corinthians 6:14-18
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with
unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with
Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple
of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in
them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come
out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and
I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith
the Lord Almighty.
II Corinthians 7:1
Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of
the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Deuteronomy 8:10-14
When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which
he hath given thee. Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments,
and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: Lest [when] thou hast eaten
and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt [therein]; And [when] thy herds and thy
flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of
the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
Ecclesiastes 6:1-2
There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it [is] common among men: A man to whom God
hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he
desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this [is] vanity,
and it [is] an evil disease.
Hebrews 13:5
[Let your] conversation [be] without covetousness; [and be] content with such things as ye have:
for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
James 5:1-5
Go to now, [ye] rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon [you]. Your
riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and
the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye
have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have
reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which
have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabbath. Ye have lived in pleasure on the
earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
I John 2:15-17
Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the
love of the Father is not in him. For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the
lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the
world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
Luke 8:14
And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked
with cares and riches and pleasures of [this] life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
Luke 12:15
And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in
the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
Matthew 6:19-21
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where
thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither
moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your
treasure is, there will your heart be also.
I Peter 4:9-10
Use hospitality one to another without grudging. As every man hath received the gift, [even so]
minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
Proverbs 10:4
He becometh poor that dealeth [with] a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
Proverbs 13:25
The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.
I Timothy 6:6
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
I Timothy 6:10
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred
from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
