- How does God's love abide in anyone who has the world's goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help?
- No one can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.
- “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in him.” - As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
- When goods increase, those who eat them increase; and what gain has their owner but to see them with his eyes?

- In reply he said to them, “Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none; and whoever has food must do likewise.”
- Wealth is a ransom for a person's life,

- When I fed them, they were satisfied;
they were satisfied, and their heart was proud;
therefore they forgot me.
Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord.
Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my supplications! Can a woman forget her nursing child,
or show no compassion for the child of her womb?
Even these may forget,
yet I will not forget you.
See, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are continually before me.Next verse!With image
