For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred.They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self control. They will be cruel and hate what is good.They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God.They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!

But satisfy the hunger of your treasured ones. May their children have plenty, leaving an inheritance for their descendants.

They are headed for destruction. Their god is their appetite, they brag about shameful things, and they think only about this life here on earth.

Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said,“ I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.”

So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.
