Games of Chance

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.”

Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction.

Dishonest wealth will dwindle, but what is earned through hard work will be multiplied.

And my God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you. For this is the essence of the Law and the Prophets.

I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world!”

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. …

For even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “If anyone is unwilling to work, he shall not eat.”

For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.

You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, or his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
