希伯來書 13:5
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."
你們存心不可貪愛錢財，要以自己所有的為足；因為主曾說：『我總不撇下你，也不丟棄你。』
約翰一書 2:16
For everything in the world-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-comes not from the Father but from the world.
因為凡世界上的事，就像肉體的情慾，眼目的情慾，並今生的驕傲，都不是從父來的，乃是從世界來的。
路加福音 12:15
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."
於是對眾人說：「你們要謹慎自守，免去一切的貪心，因為人的生命不在乎家道豐富。」
提摩太前書 6:9
- 10
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.
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。
馬太福音 6:19
- 21
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
「不要為自己積儹財寶在地上；地上有蟲子咬，能(金秀)壞，也有賊挖窟窿來偷。
只要積儹財寶在天上；天上沒有蟲子咬，不能(金秀)壞，也沒有賊挖窟窿來偷。
因為你的財寶在那裡，你的心也在那裡。」
傳道書 5:10
Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless.
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。
提摩太前書 6:10
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.
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。
提摩太前書 6:6
- 10
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.
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。
約翰一書 2:15
- 17
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.
For everything in the world-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-comes not from the Father but from the world.
The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.
不要愛世界和世界上的事。人若愛世界，愛父的心就不在他裡面了。
因為凡世界上的事，就像肉體的情慾，眼目的情慾，並今生的驕傲，都不是從父來的，乃是從世界來的。
這世界和其上的情慾都要過去，惟獨遵行神旨意的，是永遠常存。
馬可福音 4:18
- 19
Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word;
but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful.
還有那撒在荊棘裡的，就是人聽了道，
後來有世上的思慮、錢財的迷惑，和別樣的私慾進來，把道擠住了，就不能結實。
羅馬書 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.
不要效法這個世界，只要心意更新而變化，叫你們察驗何為神的善良、純全、可喜悅的旨意。
約翰一書 3:17
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 that person?
凡有世上財物的，看見弟兄窮乏，卻塞住憐恤的心，愛神的心怎能存在他裡面呢？
馬太福音 6:33
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
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 6:24
"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.
「一個人不能事奉兩個主；不是惡這個，愛那個，就是重這個，輕那個。你們不能又事奉神，又事奉瑪門（瑪門：財利的意思）。」
路加福音 16:14
- 15
The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus.
He said to them, "You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts. What people value highly is detestable in God's sight.
法利賽人是貪愛錢財的，他們聽見這一切話，就嗤笑耶穌。
耶穌對他們說：「你們是在人面前自稱為義的，你們的心，神卻知道；因為人所尊貴的，是神看為可憎惡的。
路加福音 16:19
- 31
"There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day.
At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores
and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
"The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried.
In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side.
So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.'
"But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.
And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.'
"He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family,
for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.'
"Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.'
" 'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.'
"He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.' "
有一個財主穿著紫色袍和細麻布衣服，天天奢華宴樂。
又有一個討飯的，名叫拉撒路，渾身生瘡，被人放在財主門口，
要得財主桌子上掉下來的零碎充飢；並且狗來餂他的瘡。
後來那討飯的死了，被天使帶去放在亞伯拉罕的懷裡。財主也死了，並且埋葬了。
他在陰間受痛苦，舉目遠遠的望見亞伯拉罕，又望見拉撒路在他懷裡，
就喊著說：『我祖亞伯拉罕哪，可憐我吧！打發拉撒路來，用指頭尖蘸點水，涼涼我的舌頭；因為我在這火焰裡，極其痛苦。』
亞伯拉罕說：『兒啊，你該回想你生前享過福，拉撒路也受過苦；如今他在這裡得安慰，你倒受痛苦。
不但這樣，並且在你我之間，有深淵限定，以致人要從這邊過到你們那邊是不能的；要從那邊過到我們這邊也是不能的。』
財主說：『我祖啊！既是這樣，求你打發拉撒路到我父家去；
因為我還有五個弟兄，他可以對他們作見證，免得他們也來到這痛苦的地方。』
亞伯拉罕說：『他們有摩西和先知的話可以聽從。』
他說：『我祖亞伯拉罕哪，不是的，若有一個從死裡復活的，到他們那裡去的，他們必要悔改。』
亞伯拉罕說：『若不聽從摩西和先知的話，就是有一個從死裡復活的，他們也是不聽勸。』」
約翰福音 10:10
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
盜賊來，無非要偷竊，殺害，毀壞；我來了，是要叫羊（或作：人）得生命，並且得的更豐盛。
傳道書 2:11
Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun.
後來，我察看我手所經營的一切事和我勞碌所成的功。誰知都是虛空，都是捕風；在日光之下毫無益處。
以賽亞書 40:6
- 8
A voice says, "Cry out." And I said, "What shall I cry?" "All people are like grass, and all their faithfulness is like the flowers of the field.
The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the Lord blows on them. Surely the people are grass.
The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever."
有人聲說：你喊叫吧！有一個說：我喊叫什麼呢？說：凡有血氣的盡都如草；他的美容都像野地的花。
草必枯乾，花必凋殘，因為耶和華的氣吹在其上；百姓誠然是草。
草必枯乾，花必凋殘，惟有我們神的話必永遠立定。
