Hebrews 13:5
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,“ Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
-
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 of it.But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

Are you not much more valuable than they?

The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus.
-
Ecclesiastes 5:10-16
Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless.As goods increase, so do those who consume them. And what benefit are they to the owners except to feast their eyes on them?The sleep of a laborer is sweet, whether they eat little or much, but as for the rich, their abundance permits them no sleep.I have seen a grievous evil under the sun: wealth hoarded to the harm of its owners,or wealth lost through some misfortune, so that when they have children there is nothing left for them to inherit.Everyone comes naked from their mother’s womb, and as everyone comes, so they depart. They take nothing from their toil that they can carry in their hands.This too is a grievous evil: As everyone comes, so they depart, and what do they gain, since they toil for the wind?

But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people.Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person— such a person is an idolater— has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
