1 Timothy 6:6-10
New King James Version
6 Now godliness with (A)contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, [a]and it is (B)certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and clothing, with these we shall be (C)content. 9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

16 Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully. 17 And he thought within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?’ 18 So he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, (B)“Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; (C)eat, drink, and be merry.” ’ 20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night (D)your soul will be required of you; (E)then whose will those things be which you have provided?’
21 “So is he who lays up treasure for himself, (F)and is not rich toward God.”
