1 Timothy 6:6-10

Though godliness is not to be used for getting rich, there is great gain in godliness when combined with contentment. For we brought nothing into the world, and it is certain we can take nothing out. Let us be content, therefore, to have food and clothes. People who set their hearts on being wealthy expose themselves to temptations, and get caught in a trap of foolish and harmful desires which drown them in ruin and destruction. For the love of money is at the root of all kinds of evil. Some people, craving money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.
