Whose end {is} destruction, whose God {is their} belly, and {whose} glory {is} in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart {upon them}.

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:

If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true {riches}? {mammon: or, riches}

Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, {which} I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house,

In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him. {set: Heb. made}

And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

{Oh} how great {is} thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; {which} thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
