What biblical passages discuss the relationship between wealth and humility?

Answered in 1 source

Several passages, including 1 Timothy 6:17, warn against pride associated with wealth.

The Book of Proverbs and Paul’s letters both emphasize humility in the face of wealth. Proverbs 18:11 notes how the rich man's wealth is his strong city, which can lead to conceit. Similarly, Paul instructs Timothy in 1 Timothy 6:17 to charge the wealthy not to be high-minded or trust in their riches. This highlights that true security and status come not from wealth but from our relationship with Christ. Ultimately, wealth should remind us of our dependence on God and inspire us to act with generosity and humility towards others.
