But those who want to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge men into perdition and ruin.

Because the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil; and in this covetousness some fell away from the faith, and pierced themselves with many pains.

But you, O man of Yhwh, flee from these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.

Fight the good fight of faith, he takes possession of eternal life, to which you were also called, having already made a good confession before many witnesses.

1 Timothy 6:9-12
