People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men 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. 1 Timothy 6:9-11
