6 ^aYou have sown much, and harvested little. ^bYou eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who ^cearns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes.

Matthew 6:19-21

Lay Up Treasures in Heaven

19 ^d“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where ^emoth and rust ^{▼▼Or worm; also verse 20} destroy and where thieves ^gbreak in and steal, 20 ^hbut lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Luke 16:9

9 And I tell you, ⁱmake friends for yourselves by means of ^junrighteous wealth, ^{▼▼Greek mammon, a Semitic word for money or possessions; also verse 11; rendered money in verse 13} so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings.

John 12:6

6 He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and ^lhaving charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to what was put into it.

1 Timothy 6:17-19

17 As for the rich in ^mthis present age, charge them ⁿnot to be haughty, nor ^oto set their hopes on ^pthe uncertainty of riches, but on God, ^qwho richly provides us with everything to enjoy. 18 They are to do good, ^rto be rich in good works, to be generous and ^sready to share, 19 thus ^tstoring up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may ^utake hold of ^vthat which is truly life.

James 5:1-3

Warning to the Rich

1 Come now, ^wyou rich, weep and howl for the ^xmiseries that are coming upon you. 2 ^yYour riches have rotted and ^zyour garments are moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. ^aaYou have laid up treasure ^abin the last days.
