12 watch out for yourself that you may not forget+ Jehovah, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slaves.

4 Valuable things will be of no benefit on the day of fury,+ but righteousness itself will deliver from death.+

28 The one trusting in his riches—he himself will fall;+ but just like foliage the righteous ones will flourish.+

5 Have you caused your eyes to glance at it, when it is nothing?+ For without fail it makes wings for itself like those of an eagle and flies away toward the heavens.+

19 “Stop storing up for yourselves treasures+ upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break in and steal.

24 “No one can slave for two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other,+ or he will stick to the one and despise the other. YOU cannot slave for God and for Riches.*+

36 Really, of what benefit is it for a man to gain the whole world and to forfeit his soul?+

15 Then he said to them: “Keep YOUR eyes open and guard against every sort of covetousness,+ because even when a person has an abundance his life does not result from the things he possesses.”+

17 Give orders to those who are rich+ in the present system of things* not to be high-minded,*+ and to rest their hope, not on uncertain riches,+ but on God, who furnishes us all things richly for our enjoyment;+

16 because everything in the world+—the desire of the flesh+ and the desire of the eyes+ and the showy display* of one’s means of life+—does not originate with the Father, but originates with the world.+
