1 Timothy 6 9-1 Timothy 6 10
But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and[ into] many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

1 John 2 15-1 John 2 17
Love not the world, neither the things[ that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.For all that[ is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Ecclesiastes 5:10-16
He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this[ is] also vanity.When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good[ is there] to the owners thereof, saving the beholding[ of them] with their eyes?The sleep of a labouring man[ is] sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.There is a sore evil[ which] I have seen under the sun,[ namely], riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and[ there is] nothing in his hand.As he came forth of his mother’s womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.And this also[ is] a sore evil,[ that] in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind?
