For the love of money [that is, the greedy desire for it and the willingness to gain it unethically] is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves [through and through] with many sorrows. 1 Timothy 6:10 (Amp.) Walk with integrity. Live by Godly principles. Never compromise your values for selfish gains. When tempted to obtain increase through unethical or dishonest ways, resist, pray and walk away. Trust God to meet your needs. You can accomplish more by keeping in step with God and trusting Him for your increase. Don’t let your desire for material gain overshadow what is really important in life. Seek Him first and rely on Him and Him alone to fill your cup and your resources. ADaubon
