- If anyone is rich in worldly possessions
and sees a brother in need
but refuses to open his heart,
how can the love of God abide in him? - No one can serve two masters. For you will either hate the one and love the other or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
- As sorrowful, and yet we are always rejoicing; as poor, and yet we make many rich; as having nothing, and yet we possess everything.
- The Lord is my portion, I say to myself;
therefore, I will place my hope in him. - When riches increase,
so do those who are eager to accumulate them,
and those who have accumulated them must remain content
simply to feast their eyes on them. - Then I came to realize that all toil and skill in work derive from one person’s envy of another. This also is vanity and a chase after the wind.
- He said to them in reply, “Anyone who has two coats must share with the person who has none, and whoever has food must do likewise.”
- A wealthy man pays a ransom to save his life;
a poor man never has to worry about such threats. - When I fed them, they were satisfied;
when they were satisfied, they became proud of heart
and quickly forgot me. - You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male slave, nor his female slave, nor his oxen, nor his donkey, nor anything that belongs to your neighbor.
