1 Timothy 6:9-10

9But athose who desire to be rich fall into temptation, binto a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that cplunge people into ruin and destruction. 10For the love of money is a root of dall kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.

1 Timothy 6:17

17As for the rich in ethis present age, charge them fnot to be haughty, nor gto set their hopes on hthe uncertainty of riches, but on God, iwho richly provides us with everything to enjoy.

2 Timothy 4:10

10For jDemas, kin love with lthis present world, mhas deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia,
Some manuscripts Gaul
oTitus to Dalmatia.

1 John 2:15-17

Do Not Love the World

15 pDo not love the world or the things in the world. qIf anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the worldrthe desires of the flesh and sthe desires of the eyes and pride of life
Or  pride in possessions
is not from the Father but is from the world.
17And uthe world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
