Dinheiro

15 And he said to them, "Watch out and guard yourselves from all greediness, because not even when someone has an abundance does* his life consist of his possessions."

21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge over many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’

5 Your eyes will alight* on it, but there is nothing to it,

for suddenly it will make for itself wings

like an eagle and it will be exhausted in the heavens.

4 Do not tire in order to become rich;

out of your understanding, may you desist.

There is Never Enough Money to Satisfy

10 Whoever loves money is not satisfied with money,

and whoever loves wealth is not satisfied with profit.

This also is vanity!

9 Honor Yahweh from your substance,*

and from the firstfruits of all that will come to you,

22 The blessing of Yahweh makes one rich,

and he does not increase sorrow with it.

2 Treasures of wickedness do not profit,

but righteousness delivers from death.

11 Wealth gained from haste* will dwindle,

but he who gathers little by little* will increase it.

16 Getting wisdom: how much* better than gold!

And getting understanding: it is chosen over* silver.

1 A reputation* is to be chosen rather than* great riches;

favor is better than silver and gold.*

16 Better is little with the fear of Yahweh

than great treasure and trouble with it.*

22 The craving of a man is his steadfast loyalty,

and it is better to be poor than a liar.*

8 Keep falsehood and a lying word* far from me;

do not give me poverty or wealth;

provide me with food only for my need.

9 But those who want to be rich fall into temptation and a trap and many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge those people into ruin and destruction.

Instructions to the Rich

17 Command those who are rich in this present age not to be proud and not to put their hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in God, who provides us all things richly for enjoyment,

5 Your lifestyle must be free from the love of money, being content with what you have. For he himself has said, "I will never desert you, and I will never abandon you."*

4 Wealth does not profit on the day of wrath,

but righteousness will deliver from death.

11 The wealth of the rich is his strong city,*

and like a wall, it is high in his imagination.

14 And indeed, who am I, and who are my people that we retain power to offer according to these offerings willingly? For everything is from you, and from your hand we have given to you.

7 Pay to everyone what is owed: pay taxes to whom taxes are due; pay customs duties to whom customs duties are due; pay respect to whom respect is due; pay honor to whom honor is due.*

6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities* are servants of God, busily engaged in this very thing.

16 The little belonging to the righteous is better

than the wealth of many wicked.

17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,

but Yahweh supports the righteous.

14 In the way of your testimonies I have rejoiced

as I would over all riches.
