- If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?
- No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
- I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.” - Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
- As goods increase,
so do those who consume them.
And what benefit are they to the owners
except to feast their eyes on them? - And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person’s envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
- John answered, “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.”
- A person’s riches may ransom their life,
but the poor cannot respond to threatening rebukes. - You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.
- When I fed them, they were satisfied;
when they were satisfied, they became proud;
then they forgot me.
When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone.
