Keep yourselves from idols.
[I John.5:21]
My son, give me thine heart. ■ Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
[Prov.23:26 | Col.3:2]
Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them? ■ Mortify ... your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry. ■ They that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things.
[Ezek.14:3 | Col.3:5 | I Tim.6:9-11]
If riches increase, set not your heart upon them. ■ My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
[Psa.62:10 | Prov.8:19]
Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. ■ The Lord looketh on the heart.
[Matt.6:21 | I Sam.16:7]
