Is it a sin to be rich?
No, not all believers were poor financially. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Solomon, etc., were wealthy. In fact, God prospered them.
Proverbs 3:
Paul collected money to send to the Jerusalem church in 1 Corinthians 16:
Only if you don't honor God with your riches.

Proverbs 3:
Jesus says in Luke 12:9a Honor the LORD with your wealth.
Rich Christians can use their wealth to bless the poor. If all Christians were poor, how could they financially help the poor?21 “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”
Paul collected money to send to the Jerusalem church in 1 Corinthians 16:
If I become rich, will I go to hell?1 Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do. 2 On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come. 3 And when I arrive, I will send those whom you accredit by letter to carry your gift to Jerusalem. 4 If it seems advisable that I should go also, they will accompany me.
Only if you don't honor God with your riches.
