Material Wealth

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. …

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.”

No one can serve two masters: Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like foliage.

And He said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves against every form of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

In everything, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus Himself: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the sinner’s wealth is passed to the righteous.

Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

The blessing of the LORD enriches, and He adds no sorrow to it.
