Psalm 119:36 (Amplified Bible)
Incline my heart to Your testimonies and not to covetousness (robbery, sensuality, unworthy riches). Proverbs 16:29 (Amplified Bible) The exceedingly grasping, covetous, and violent man entices his neighbor, leading him in a way that is not good. Proverbs 28:22 (Amplified Bible) He who has an evil and covetous eye hastens to be rich and knows not that want will come upon him. Mark 7:21-23 (Amplified Bible) For from within, [that is] out of the hearts of men, come base and wicked thoughts, sexual immorality, stealing, murder, adultery, Coveting (a greedy desire to have more wealth), dangerous and destructive wickedness, deceit; [a]unrestrained (indecent) conduct; an evil eye (envy), slander (evil speaking, malicious misrepresentation, abusiveness), pride (the sin of an uplifted heart against God and man), foolishness (folly, lack of sense, recklessness, thoughtlessness). All these evil [purposes and desires] come from within, and they make the man unclean and render him unhallowed. Luke 12:15 (Amplified Bible) And He said to them, Guard yourselves and keep free from all covetousness (the immoderate desire for wealth, the greedy longing to have more); for a man's life does not consist in and is not derived from possessing overflowing abundance or that which is over and above his needs. Romans 13:9 (Amplified Bible) The commandments, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet (have an evil desire), and any other commandment, are summed up in the single command, You shall love your neighbor as [you do] yourself. |
