| My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. … Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? |
| Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth. – Having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. |
| God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; and base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: that no flesh should glory in his presence. |
| Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty. |
