1. 人若赚得全世界，赔上自己的生命，有甚么益处呢？人还能拿甚么换生命呢。－马太福音16:26

For what shall a man be profited if he gains the whole world, butforfeits his soul-life? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul-life?

－Matthew 16:26

2. 你们看那天上的飞鸟，也不种，也不收，也不积蓄在仓里，你们的天父尚且养活他。你们不比飞鸟贵重得多么。你们那一个能用思虑，使寿数多加一刻呢。〔或作使身量多加一肘呢〕何必为衣裳忧虑呢。你想野地里的百合花，怎么长起来，他也不劳苦，也不纺线。所以不要忧说，吃甚么？喝甚么？穿甚么？这都是外邦人所求的。你们需用的这一切东西，你们的天父是知道的。你们要先求他的国，和他的义这些东西都要加给你们了。－马太福音6:26-28,31-33

Look at the birds of heaven. They do not sow nor reap nor gatherinto barns, yet your heavenly Father nourishes them. Are you not of more valuethan they? ...Consider well the lilies of the field, how they grow. They do nottoil, neither do they spin thread. ...Therefore do not be anxious, saying, Whatshall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, With what shall we be clothed? Forall these things the Gentiles are anxiously seeking. For your heavenly Fatherknows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and Hisrighteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

－Matthew 6:26-28,31-33

3. 不要为那必坏的食物劳力，要为那存到永生的食物劳力，就是人子要赐给你们的。因为人子是父神所印证的。－约翰福音6:27

Work not for the food which perishes, but for the food whichabides unto eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you; for Him has theFather, even God, sealed.

－John 6:27

4. 你们存心不可贪爱钱财。要以自己所有的为足。因为主曾说，『我总不撇下你、也不丢弃你。』－希伯来书13:5

Let your way of life be without the love of money, being satisfiedwith the things which are at hand; for He Himself has said, "I shall by nomeans give you up, neither by any means shall I abandon you'

－Hebrews13:5

5. 我亲爱的弟兄们，请听，神岂不是拣选了世上贫穷的人，叫他们在信上富足，并承受祂所应许给那些爱祂之人的国么？－雅各书2:5

Listen, my beloved brothers: Did not God choose the poor in theworld to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which He promised to thosewho love Him?

－James 2:5

6. 然而敬虔加上知足的心便是大利了。因为我们没有带甚么到世上来，也不能带甚么去。只要有衣有食，就当知足。但那些想要发财的人，就陷在迷惑，落在网罗，和许多无知有害的私欲里，叫人沉在败坏和灭亡中。贪财是万恶之根。有人贪恋钱财，就被引诱离了真道，用许多愁苦把自己刺透了。但你这属神的人，要逃避这些事，追求公义，敬虔，信心，爱心，忍耐，温柔。－提摩太前书6:6-11

But godliness with contentment is great gain; For we have broughtnothing into the world, because neither can we carry anything out. But havingfood and covering, with these we will be content. But those who intend to berich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires, whichplunge men into destruction and ruin. For the love of money is a root of allevils, because of which some, aspiring after money, have been led away from thefaith and pierced themselves through with many pains. But you, O man of God,flee these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance,meekness.

－1 Timothy 6:6-11

7. 耶和华的圣民哪，你们当敬畏祂，因敬畏祂的一无所缺。少壮狮子，还缺食忍饿；但寻求耶和华的，什么好处都不缺。－诗篇34:9-10

Fear Jehovah, you who are His saints; For there is no lack withthose who fear Him. The young lions hunger and starve, But those who seekJehovah will not lack any good thing.

－Psalms 34:9-10

8. 少有财宝，敬畏耶和华，强如多有财宝，烦乱不安。－箴言15:16

Better is a little with the fear of Jehovah Than great treasureand turmoil with it.

－Proverbs15:16

9. 因为『凡有血气的，尽都如草，他的美荣，都像草上的花。草必枯干，花必凋谢。惟有主的道是永存的。』所传给你们的福音就是这道。－彼得前书1:24-25

For "all flesh is like grass, and all its glory like theflower of grass. The grass has withered, and the flower has fallen off, But theword of the Lord abides forever.' And this is the word which has beenannounced to you as the gospel.

－1 Peter 1:24-25

10. 你要嘱咐那些今世富足的人，不要自高，也不要倚靠无定的钱财。只要倚靠那厚赐百物给我们享受的神。又要嘱咐他们行善，在好事上富足，甘心施舍，乐意供给人，（供给或作体贴）为自己积成美好的根基，预备将来，叫他们持定那真正的生命。－提摩太前书6:17-19

Charge those who are rich in the present age not to behigh-minded, nor to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches but on God, whoaffords us all things richly for our enjoyment; To do good, to be rich in goodworks, to be ready to distribute, to be ones willing to share; Laying away forthemselves a good foundation as a treasure for the future, that they may layhold on that which is really life.

－1 Timothy 6:17-19
