Jesus warned concerning an inordinate desire for material things: "Guard against every sort of covetousness, because even when a person has an abundance his life does not result from the things he possesses."  - Luke 12:15.
Yesu u te: "[Tivoneleni] eka muxaka wun'wana ni wun'wana wa ku navela, hikuva hambiloko munhu a ri ni swo tala, vutomi byakwe a byi humi eka swilo leswi a nga na swona." - Luka 12:15.
