“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after they have erred from faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness."
"Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. Wilt thou set thine eyes upon which is not? For riches certainly makes themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven"
"If thou will be perfect, go and sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come and follow me."
"Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God"
