“Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so
uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with
everything for our enjoyment.
Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.
In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a
firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold
of the life that is truly life.” (1 Timothy 6:17–19, NIV)
“…You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him
only you shall serve.” (Matthew 4:10, NKJV)
