  Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

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.

Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
