How many references are in the bible to money?

Answer 1

There are over 100 references to money throughout the scriptures, but a few that speak specifically of it's effects for good and evil on human needs and nature.

Some of the benefits of money are brought out in: Ecclesiastes 7:12; 10:19, 2Chronicles 24:4-14; Romans 12:13; 1John 3:17, 18

while many of it's dangers are mentioned at: 2Timothy 3:1, 2, 1Timothy 6:10; Hebrews 13:5, Deuteronomy 8:10-14, 16:19; 23:18; 27:25; Ezekiel 22:12; Matthew 26:14, 15; 28:11-15, Acts 8:18-21.

The Bible indicates, however, that the most valuable things, like 'spiritual food' (learning about God) and eternal life itself, require NO money, and are infact, FREE (Isaiah 55:1, 2; Revelation 22:17)(Matthew 10:7+8).

Answer 2

There are numerous references to money in the Bible, such as the story of the rich young ruler, the parable of the talents, and Jesus overturning the tables of the money changers in the temple. These references provide moral lessons on wealth, generosity, and the dangers of greed.
