Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true?

No servant is able to serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. It is not possible to serve God and mammon.

Will you set your eyes on that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away like an eagle into the heavens.

But those who purpose to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which plunge people into ruin and destruction.

also they are afraid of the heights, and terrors along the way, and the almond tree blossoms, and the grasshopper is a burden, and desire fails; because man goes to his eternal home, and the mourners go about the streets;

then the dust shall return to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall return to God who gave it.

For I will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry; for the spirit would grow faint before Me, and the souls I have made.

while we do not contemplate the things which are seen, but the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in Heaven.

Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share,

keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
