Dinheiro
O dinheiro é ferramenta que pode ser usada para o bem ou para o mal. A Bíblia nos ensina a administrar recursos com sabedoria, generosidade e temor ao Senhor.
Perspectiva bíblica
Guardai-vos da avareza. A vida não consiste na abundância de bens. O dinheiro é servo, nunca senhor.
15 Jesus said: »Be careful, do not covet, for life does not come from your possessions.«
21 Your heart will be where you keep your wealth.
21 »His lord said: Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, so I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.
5 Will you look for things that do not exist? Riches grow wings and fly away like a bird.
4 Do not exhaust yourself to get rich. Be wise and show restraint.
10 He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth, with gain. This too is vanity.
Administrar com sabedoria
Honra ao Senhor com as tuas primícias. O sábio administra seus recursos com prudência e visão de eternidade.
9 Honor Jehovah with your wealth and give him the best of all you have.
22 The blessing of Jehovah makes rich and he adds no grief to it.
2 Treasures of wickedness the morally wrong profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death.
11 Wealth gained by dishonesty will be diminished. He who gathers by labor will increase.
16 How much better to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding instead of silver!
1 A good name is better than great riches, and loving favor is better than silver and gold.
16 It is better to have a little with respect for Jehovah than great treasure and trouble.
22 Kindness is desired in a man. A poor man is better than a liar.
8 Remove far from me vanity and lies. Give me neither poverty nor riches. Feed me with food necessary for me.
Perigos e armadilhas
Quem quer enriquecer cai em tentação. Fuja do amor ao dinheiro e busque contentamento no Senhor.
9 Those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts. These draw men into ruin and destruction.
17 Command those who are rich in this present system not to be high-minded arrogant, not to have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy.

4 Riches do not profit in the day of wrath. Righteousness delivers from death.
11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city. It is his high wall of vanity.
Tudo vem de Deus
De ti vem tudo, e das tuas mãos to damos. Os tributos são devidos — dai a César o que é de César e a Deus o que é de Deus.
14 »Yet my people and I cannot really give you anything. This is because everything is a gift from you, and we have only given back what is yours already.
7 Render therefore to all their due. Provide tribute to whom tribute is due. Give custom to whom custom is owed. Render fear to whom fear is owed and offer honor to whom honor is deserved.
6 That is why you pay taxes. They are Gods ministers continually serving this very purpose.
16 Better is the little of the righteous than the abundance of many wicked.17 The arms of the wicked will be broken, but Jehovah sustains the righteous.
14 I have rejoiced in the way of your written word, as much as in all riches.
