羅馬書 1:29
They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,
裝滿了各樣不義、邪惡、貪婪、惡毒(或作:陰毒),滿心是嫉妒、兇殺、爭競、詭詐、毒恨;
傳道書 1:8
All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing.
萬事令人厭煩(或作:萬物滿有困乏),人不能說盡。眼看,看不飽;耳聽,聽不足。
彌迦書 3:11
Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets tell fortunes for money. Yet they look for the Lord's support and say, "Is not the Lord among us? No disaster will come upon us."
首領為賄賂行審判;祭司為雇價施訓誨;先知為銀錢行占卜。他們卻倚賴耶和華,說:耶和華不是在我們中間嗎?災禍必不臨到我們。
箴言 21:25
- 26
The craving of a sluggard will be the death of him, because his hands refuse to work.
All day long he craves for more, but the righteous give without sparing.
懶惰人的心願將他殺害,因為他手不肯做工。
有終日貪得無饜的;義人施捨而不吝惜。
哥林多前書 5:11
But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.
但如今我寫信給你們說,若有稱為弟兄是行淫亂的,或貪婪的,或拜偶像的,或辱罵的,或醉酒的,或勒索的,這樣的人不可與他相交,就是與他吃飯都不可。
彼得後書 2:3
In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
他們因有貪心,要用捏造的言語在你們身上取利。他們的刑罰,自古以來並不遲延;他們的滅亡也必速速來到(原文作不打盹)。
傳道書 5:10
- 11
Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless.
As goods increase, so do those who consume them. And what benefit are they to the owners except to feast their eyes on them?
貪愛銀子的,不因得銀子知足;貪愛豐富的,也不因得利益知足。這也是虛空。
貨物增添,吃的人也增添,物主得什麼益處呢?不過眼看而已!
哈巴谷書 2:5
- 9
indeed, wine betrays him; he is arrogant and never at rest. Because he is as greedy as the grave and like death is never satisfied, he gathers to himself all the nations and takes captive all the peoples.
"Will not all of them taunt him with ridicule and scorn, saying, " 'Woe to him who piles up stolen goods and makes himself wealthy by extortion! How long must this go on?'
Will not your creditors suddenly arise? Will they not wake up and make you tremble? Then you will become their prey.
Because you have plundered many nations, the peoples who are left will plunder you. For you have shed human blood; you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.
"Woe to him who builds his house by unjust gain, setting his nest on high to escape the clutches of ruin!
迦勒底人因酒詭詐,狂傲,不住在家中,擴充心欲,好像陰間。他如死不能知足,聚集萬國,堆積萬民都歸自己。
這些國的民豈不都要提起詩歌並俗語譏刺他說:禍哉!迦勒底人,你增添不屬自己的財物,多多取人的當頭,要到幾時為止呢?
咬傷你的豈不忽然起來,擾害你的豈不興起,你就作他們的擄物嗎?
因你搶奪許多的國,殺人流血,向國內的城並城中一切居民施行強暴,所以各國剩下的民都必搶奪你。
為本家積蓄不義之財、在高處搭窩、指望免災的有禍了!
彌迦書 2:2
They covet fields and seize them, and houses, and take them. They defraud people of their homes, they rob them of their inheritance.
他們貪圖田地就佔據,貪圖房屋便奪取;他們欺壓人,霸佔房屋和產業。
馬太福音 16:26
What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?

箴言 30:8
- 9
Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread.
Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, 'Who is the Lord?' Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.
求你使虛假和謊言遠離我;使我也不貧窮也不富足;賜給我需用的飲食,
恐怕我飽足不認你,說:耶和華是誰呢?又恐怕我貧窮就偷竊,以致褻瀆我神的名。
以賽亞書 1:23
Your rulers are rebels, partners with thieves; they all love bribes and chase after gifts. They do not defend the cause of the fatherless; the widow's case does not come before them.
你的官長居心悖逆,與盜賊作伴,各都喜愛賄賂,追求贓私。他們不為孤兒伸冤;寡婦的案件也不得呈到他們面前。
以賽亞書 56:11
They are dogs with mighty appetites; they never have enough. They are shepherds who lack understanding; they all turn to their own way, they seek their own gain.
這些狗貪食,不知飽足。這些牧人不能明白,各人偏行己路,各從各方求自己的利益。
耶利米書 17:11
Like a partridge that hatches eggs it did not lay are those who gain riches by unjust means. When their lives are half gone, their riches will desert them, and in the end they will prove to be fools.

馬太福音 6:31
- 33
So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
所以,不要憂慮說:吃什麼?喝什麼?穿什麼?
這都是外邦人所求的,你們需用的這一切東西,你們的天父是知道的。
你們要先求他的國和他的義,這些東西都要加給你們了。
馬太福音 13:22
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.

"If I have put my trust in gold or said to pure gold, 'You are my security,'
if I have rejoiced over my great wealth, the fortune my hands had gained,

提摩太前書 6:5
- 11
and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.
But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.
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.
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.
But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.
並那壞了心術、失喪真理之人的爭競。他們以敬虔為得利的門路。
然而,敬虔加上知足的心便是大利了;
因為我們沒有帶什麼到世上來,也不能帶什麼去。
只要有衣有食,就當知足。
但那些想要發財的人,就陷在迷惑、落在網羅和許多無知有害的私慾裡,叫人沉在敗壞和滅亡中。
貪財是萬惡之根。有人貪戀錢財,就被引誘離了真道,用許多愁苦把自己刺透了。
但你這屬神的人要逃避這些事,追求公義、敬虔、信心、愛心、忍耐、溫柔。
提摩太前書 6:17
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.

提多書 1:11
They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach-and that for the sake of dishonest gain.
這些人的口總要堵住。他們因貪不義之財,將不該教導的教導人,敗壞人的全家。
雅各書 4:2
You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.
你們貪戀,還是得不著;你們殺害嫉妒,又鬥毆爭戰,也不能得。你們得不著,是因為你們不求。
箴言 22:16
One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth and one who gives gifts to the rich-both come to poverty. Thirty Sayings of the Wise Saying 1
欺壓貧窮為要利己的,並送禮與富戶的,都必缺乏。
馬太福音 6:24
- 25
"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.

「所以我告訴你們,不要為生命憂慮吃什麼,喝什麼;為身體憂慮穿什麼。生命不勝於飲食嗎?身體不勝於衣裳嗎?
路加福音 7:14
Then he went up and touched the bier they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still. He said, "Young man, I say to you, get up!"
於是進前按著槓,抬的人就站住了。耶穌說:「少年人,我吩咐你,起來!」
