| There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men: a man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honor, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul. (Eccl. 6:1‑2) |
| Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world. (Psa. 73:12) |
| It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. (Luke 18:25,27) |
Had I wealth and love in fullest measure,
With a name renowned both far and near,
Yet no hope beyond, no harbor waiting,
Where my storm-tossed vessel I could steer;
If I gained the world, but lost the Savior,
Who endured the cross and died for me,
Could then all the world afford a refuge
Whither in my anguish I might flee? |
