Matthew 6:24
6:24 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

Luke 12:15-21
12:15 Then
he said to them, “Watch out and guard yourself from
all types of greed,
because one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
12:16 He then
told them a parable:
“The land of a certain rich man produced
an abundant crop,
12:17 so
he thought to himself,
‘What should I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?’
12:18 Then
he said, ‘I
will do this: I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
12:19 And I will say to myself,
“You have plenty of goods stored up for many years; relax, eat, drink, celebrate!”’
12:20 But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life
will be demanded back from
you, but who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’
12:21 So it is with the one who stores up riches for himself,
but is not rich toward God.”
