- Riches don’t profit in the day of wrath,
but righteousness delivers from death. - The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,
like an unscalable wall in his own imagination. - Treasures of wickedness profit nothing,
but righteousness delivers from death. - I know how to be humbled, and I also know how to abound. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need.
- But whoever has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, then closes his heart of compassion against him, how does God’s love remain in him?
- I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies,
as much as in all riches. - Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God.
- Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all! In your hand is power and might! It is in your hand to make great, and to give strength to all!
- Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
- House and riches are an inheritance from fathers,
but a prudent wife is from Yahweh. - But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back part of the price of the land? While you kept it, didn’t it remain your own? After it was sold, wasn’t it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You haven’t lied to men, but to God.”
- Yahweh makes poor and makes rich.
He brings low, he also lifts up. - As sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things.
- Turn my heart toward your statutes,
not toward selfish gain. - Better is a little with righteousness,
than great revenues with injustice. - Yahweh restored Job’s prosperity when he prayed for his friends. Yahweh gave Job twice as much as he had before.
- It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends.
He will maintain his cause in judgment. - The rich rule over the poor.
The borrower is servant to the lender. - The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back,
but the righteous give generously. - When goods increase, those who eat them are increased; and what advantage is there to its owner, except to feast on them with his eyes?
- What was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
- Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position; and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
- You shall most certainly not make gods of silver or gods of gold for yourselves to be alongside me.
- The ransom of a man’s life is his riches,
but the poor hear no threats.
