financial success

¹⁸But remember the Lord your God, that he himself has provided you with strength, so that he may fulfill his covenant, about which he swore to your fathers, just as the present day reveals.

²²The blessing of the Lord causes riches. Affliction will not be a companion to them.

³³Therefore, seek first the kingdom of God and his justice, and all these things shall be added to you as well.

⁹Honor the Lord with your substance, and give to him from the first of all your fruits, ¹⁰and then your storehouses will be filled with abundance, and your presses shall overflow with wine.

¹⁹And may my God fulfill all your desires, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

³Glory and wealth will be in his house, and his justice shall remain from age to age.

²⁴Some distribute their own goods, and they become wealthier. Others seize what is not their own, and they are always in need. ²⁵The soul that blesses shall be made fat. And whoever inebriates will likewise be inebriated himself.

⁹Whoever is inclined to mercy shall be blessed, for from his bread he has given to the poor. Whoever gives gifts will acquire victory and honor. But he carries away the soul of the receiver.

¹¹The Lord will cause you to be abundant in every good thing: in the fruit of your womb, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your land, which the Lord swore to your fathers that he would give to you. ¹²The Lord will open his excellent treasury, the heavens, so that it may distribute rain in due time. And he will bless all the works of your hands. And you shall lend to many nations, but you yourself will borrow nothing from anyone. ¹³And the Lord will appoint you as the head, and not as the tail. And you shall be always above, and not beneath. But only if you will listen to the commandments of the Lord your God, which I entrust to you this day, and will keep and do them, ¹⁴and will not turn aside from them, neither to the right, nor to the left, nor follow strange gods, nor worship them.

²⁰A faithful man shall be greatly praised. But whoever rushes to become rich will not be innocent.

³⁸Give, and it will be given to you: a good measure, pressed down and shaken together and overflowing, they will place upon your lap. Certainly, the same measure that you use to measure out, will be used to measure back to you again.”

⁷The rich rule over the poor. And the borrower is servant to the lender.

²⁸Whoever trusts in his riches will fall. But the just shall spring up like a green leaf.

²⁴No one is able to serve two masters. For either he will have hatred for the one, and love the other, or he will persevere with the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.

¹⁰The thief does not come, except so that he may steal and slaughter and destroy. I have come so that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.

⁸The book of this law shall not depart from your mouth. Instead, you shall meditate upon it, day and night, so that you may observe and do all the things that are written in it. Then you shall direct your way and understand it.

²²Intentions dissipate where there is no counsel. Yet truly, they are confirmed where there are many counselors.
