1 Timothy 6 6-1 Timothy 6 10
But godliness with contentment is great gain.For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out.If we have food and clothing, we will be content with these.But those who want to be rich fall into temptation, a trap, and many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge people into ruin and destruction.For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and by craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

Ecclesiastes 5:10-16
The one who loves silver is never satisfied with silver, and whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with income. This too is futile.When good things increase, the ones who consume them multiply; what, then, is the profit to the owner, except to gaze at them with his eyes?The sleep of the worker is sweet, whether he eats little or much, but the abundance of the rich permits him no sleep.There is a sickening tragedy I have seen under the sun: wealth kept by its owner to his harm.That wealth was lost in a bad venture, so when he fathered a son, he was empty-handed.As he came from his mother’s womb, so he will go again, naked as he came; he will take nothing for his efforts that he can carry in his hands.This too is a sickening tragedy: exactly as he comes, so he will go. What does the one gain who struggles for the wind?
