Bible verses about "greediness" | Living_Oracles

¹⁵ And he said to them, Be upon your guard against covetousness; for in whatever affluence a man be, his life depends not on his possessions.

⁵ Mortify, therefore, your members which are on the earth; fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and licentiousness, which is idolatry;

⁵ For this you know, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor lascivious man, who is an idolater, has inheritance in the kingdom of Christ, and of God.

⁵ Let your behavior be without the love of money, being contented with the things you have; for himself has said, "I will never leave you, not will I at all utterly forsake you."

¹⁷ This, therefore, I say, and testify in the Lord, that you walk no longer as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind; ¹⁸ having their understandings darkened; being alienated from the life of God, through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; ¹⁹ who, being past feeling, have abandoned themselves to lasciviousness, to commit all uncleanness with greediness. ²⁰ But you have not so learned Christ; ²¹ if, indeed, you have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus; ²² that, with respect to your former conduct, you put away the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; ²³ that you be renewed in the spirit of your minds; ²⁴ and that you put on the new man; which, after God, is created in righteousness and true holiness.

³ But whoredom, and all uncleanness, and inordinate desire- let them not even be named among you; (as it becomes saints;)

¹⁰ For the love of money is the root of all evil, which some, eagerly desiring, have wholly erred from the faith, and pierced themselves all around with many sorrows.

¹⁶ For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-is not of the Father, but is of the world.
