WISELY CONSIDERING YOUR WEALTH
1 Timothy 6:6 Now godliness with contentment is
great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this
world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and clothing, with these we
shall be content. 9 But those who desire to be
rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into
many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men
in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of
money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which
some have strayed from the faith in their
greediness, and pierced themselves through with
many sorrows.
1 Timothy 6:17 Command those who are rich in
this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in
uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives
us richly all things to enjoy. 18 Let them do good,
that they be rich in good works, ready to give,
willing to share, 19 storing up for themselves a
good foundation for the time to come, that they
may lay hold on eternal life.
Matthew 19:16 Now behold, one came and said to Him,
"Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may
have eternal life?" 17 So He said to him, "Why do you call
Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you
want to enter into life, keep the commandments." 18 He
said to Him, "Which ones?" Jesus said, " 'You shall not
murder,' 'You shall not commit adultery,' 'You shall not
steal,' 'You shall not bear false witness,' 19 'Honor your
father and your mother,' and, 'You shall love your
neighbor as yourself.' " 20 The young man said to Him,
"All these things I have kept from my youth. What do I
still lack?"
21 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." 22 But when the young man heard
that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had
great possessions. 23 Then Jesus said to His
disciples, "Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard
for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24 "And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel
to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich
man to enter the kingdom of God."
Proverbs 30:7 Two things I request of You
(Deprive me not before I die): 8 Remove
falsehood and lies far from me; Give me neither
poverty nor riches -- Feed me with the food
allotted to me; 9 Lest I be full and deny You, And
say, "Who is the LORD?" Or lest I be poor and
steal, And profane the name of my God.
2 Corinthians 8:9 For you know the grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for
your sakes He became poor, that you through His
poverty might become rich.
Matthew 6:19 " Do not lay up for yourselves
treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy
and where thieves break in and steal; 20 "but lay
up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where
neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves
do not break in and steal. 21 "For where your
treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Proverbs 15:6 In the house of the righteous there
is much treasure, But in the revenue of the
wicked is trouble.
Proverbs 15:16 Better is a little with the fear of
the LORD, Than great treasure with trouble.
Proverbs 28:6 Better is the poor who walks in his
integrity Than one perverse in his ways, though
he be rich.
Proverbs 23:4 Do not overwork to be rich;
Because of your own understanding, cease! 5
Will you set your eyes on that which is not? For
riches certainly make themselves wings; They fly
away like an eagle toward heaven. 6 Do not eat
the bread of a miser, Nor desire his delicacies; 7
For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. "Eat and
drink!" he says to you, But his heart is not with
you. 8 The morsel you have eaten, you will vomit
up, And waste your pleasant words.
Proverbs 27:20 Hell and Destruction are never
full; So the eyes of man are never satisfied.
Ecclesiastes 2:10 Whatever my eyes desired I did
not keep from them. I did not withhold my heart
from any pleasure, For my heart rejoiced in all my
labor; And this was my reward from all my labor.
11 Then I looked on all the works that my hands
had done And on the labor in which I had toiled;
And indeed all was vanity and grasping for the
wind. There was no profit under the sun.
1 Timothy 6:9 But those who desire to be rich fall
into temptation and a snare, and into many
foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in
destruction and perdition.
Matthew 6:24 " No one can serve two masters;
for either he will hate the one and love the other,
or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the
other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
Matthew 6:2 " Therefore I say to you, do not worry about
your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor
about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more
than food and the body more than clothing? 26 "Look at
the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor
gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not of more value than they? 27 "Which of you by
worrying can add one cubit to his stature? 28 "So why do
you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field,
how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 "and yet I
say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not
arrayed like one of these.
30 "Now if God so clothes the grass of the field,
which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the
oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of
little faith? 31 "Therefore do not worry, saying,
'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or
'What shall we wear?' 32 "For after all these
things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly
Father knows that you need all these things. 33
"But seek first the kingdom of God and His
righteousness, and all these things shall be added
to you.
Proverbs 22:2 The rich and the poor have this in
common, The LORD is the maker of them all.
Proverbs 11:4 Riches do not profit in the day of
wrath, But righteousness delivers from death.
Proverbs 11:28 He who trusts in his riches will
fall, But the righteous will flourish like foliage.
Psalm 49:6 Those who trust in their wealth And
boast in the multitude of their riches, 7 None of
them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor
give to God a ransom for him -- 8 For the
redemption of their souls is costly, And it shall
cease forever --
Matthew 16:26 "For what profit is it to a man if
he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?
Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
Proverbs 13:4 The soul of a lazy man desires, and
has nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be
made rich.
2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were
with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will
not work, neither shall he eat. 11 For we hear
that there are some who walk among you in a
disorderly manner, not working at all, but are
busybodies. 12 Now those who are such we
command and exhort through our Lord Jesus
Christ that they work in quietness and eat their
own bread.
1 Corinthians 10:31 Therefore, whether you eat
or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of
God.
Matthew 5:16 "Let your light so shine before
men, that they may see your good works and
glorify your Father in heaven.
Proverbs 19:17 He who has pity on the poor lends
to the LORD, And He will pay back what he has
given.
Matthew 25:34 "Then the King will say to those on His
right hand, 'Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the
kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the
world: 35 'for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was
thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you
took Me in; 36 'I was naked and you clothed Me; I was
sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to
Me.' 37 "Then the righteous will answer Him, saying,
'Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or
thirsty and give You drink? 38 'When did we see You a
stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 'Or
when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?'
40 "And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly,
I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of
these My brethren, you did it to Me.'
Acts 4:32 Now the multitude of those who
believed were of one heart and one soul; neither
did anyone say that any of the things he
possessed was his own, but they had all things in
common. 33 And with great power the apostles
gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord
Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. 34 Nor
was there anyone among them who lacked; for all
who were possessors of lands or houses sold
them, and brought the proceeds of the things that
were sold, 35 and laid them at the apostles' feet;
and they distributed to each as anyone had need.
2 Corinthians 8:1 Moreover, brethren, we make
known to you the grace of God bestowed on the
churches of Macedonia: 2 that in a great trial of
affliction the abundance of their joy and their
deep poverty abounded in the riches of their
liberality. 3 For I bear witness that according to
their ability, yes, and beyond their ability, they
were freely willing, 4 imploring us with much
urgency that we would receive the gift and the
fellowship of the ministering to the saints. 5 And
not only as we had hoped, but they first gave
themselves to the Lord, and then to us by the will
of God.
Proverbs 13:22 A good man leaves an inheritance
to his children's children, But the wealth of the
sinner is stored up for the righteous.
James 5:1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl
for your miseries that are coming upon you! 2
Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are
moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded,
and their corrosion will be a witness against you
and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped
up treasure in the last days. 4 Indeed the wages
of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you
kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the
reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of
Sabaoth. 5 You have lived on the earth in
pleasure and luxury; you have fattened your
hearts as in a day of slaughter. 6 You have
condemned, you have murdered the just; he does
not resist you.
