Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold.

Do not wear yourself out to get rich; do not trust your own cleverness.

Better a little with righteousness than much gain with injustice.

Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.

Better the little that the righteous have than the wealth of many wicked; for the power of the wicked will be broken, but the Lord upholds the righteous.

After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before.

Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches.

The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously.

Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. But the rich should take pride in their humiliation—since they will pass away like a wild flower.

No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

The Lord sends poverty and wealth; he humbles and he exalts.

Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops.

Moreover, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil—this is a gift of God.

The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, without painful toil for it.

Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?

If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?

This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing.

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.

Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value, but righteousness delivers from death.

Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless.

Better a little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth with turmoil.

For the Lord your God will bless you as he has promised, and you will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. You will rule over many nations but none will rule over you.

A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.

But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.

Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all.

Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.

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.”

What a person desires is unfailing love; better to be poor than a liar.

Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”

The wealth of the rich is their fortified city; they imagine it a wall too high to scale.

As goods increase, so do those who consume them. And what benefit are they to the owners except to feast their eyes on them?

Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.

How much better to get wisdom than gold, to get insight rather than silver!

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.

His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”

The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful.

Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow.

Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.

The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.

A person’s riches may ransom their life, but the poor cannot respond to threatening rebukes.

Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread.

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
