Bible verses about "greediness" | WPNT

¹⁵ Then He said to all, “Keep alert and guard against covetousness, because one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

⁵ Therefore put to death your members that are on the earth: fornication, filthiness, passion, evil desire, and the greediness that is idolatry.

⁵ Because you can know this for sure: no fornicator, nor anyone who is morally corrupt or insatiable (actually an idolater), has any inheritance in the Kingdom of the Christ and God.

⁵ Your way of life should be free from the love of money, being content with what you have, because He Himself has said: “I absolutely will not desert you; I most certainly will not abandon you.”

¹⁷ So then, I affirm and insist on this in the Lord: you must no longer carry on as the rest of the Gentiles do, in the futility of their mind, ¹⁸ having been darkened in their understanding, being alienated [as a continuing condition] from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts, ¹⁹ who, having become dead to hope, have abandoned themselves to depravity, greedily indulging in every kind of vileness. ²⁰ Now that is not how you ‘learned Christ’— ²¹ if indeed you have heard Him and been taught by Him (as the truth is in Jesus): ²² that you put away, concerning your former way of life, the old man (that keeps on being corrupted by the deceitful desires), ²³ and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, ²⁴ and put on the new man, created in the likeness of God, in true righteousness and holiness.

³ But, you should not even talk about fornication or any form of moral corruption or insatiableness (as is fitting for saints);

¹⁰ because the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil; in their greediness some have been led away from the faith and have impaled themselves on many distresses.

¹⁶ Because everything in the world—the craving of the flesh and the craving of the eyes and the pretension of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.
