5 Let your character [your moral essence, your inner nature] be free from the love of money [shun greed—be financially ethical], being content with what you have; for He has said, "I will never [under any circumstances] desert you [nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless], nor will I forsakeorlet you downorrelax My hold on you [assuredly not]!" [Josh 1:5] 6 So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently say,

"The Lord is my Helper [in time of need], I will not be afraid.

What will man do to me?" [Ps 27:1; 118:6]
