- Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath,
but righteousness delivers from death. - The wealth of the rich is their fortified city;
they imagine it a wall too high to scale. - Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”
- Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value,
but righteousness delivers from death. - I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
- 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?

- Wealth and honor come from you;
you are the ruler of all things.
In your hands are strength and power
to exalt and give strength to all. - Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
- Houses and wealth are inherited from parents,
but a prudent wife is from the Lord. - The Lord sends poverty and wealth;
he humbles and he exalts. - Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.

and not toward selfish gain. - Better a little with righteousness
than much gain with injustice. - After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before.
- Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,
who conduct their affairs with justice. - The rich rule over the poor,
and the borrower is slave to the lender. - The wicked borrow and do not repay,
but the righteous give generously. - As goods increase,
so do those who consume them.
And what benefit are they to the owners
except to feast their eyes on them? - The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful.
- Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. But the rich should take pride in their humiliation—since they will pass away like a wild flower.
- Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold.
- A person’s riches may ransom their life,
but the poor cannot respond to threatening rebukes.
Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.Next verse!With image
