³³ Give what property you have in exchange for money, and give the money to the poor; make for yourselves money-bags which will not get old, wealth stored up in heaven which will be yours for ever, where thieves will not come nor worms put it to destruction.

²¹ Jesus said to him, If you have a desire to be complete, go, get money for your property, and give it to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven: and come after me.

³⁴ And no one among them was in need; for everyone who had land or houses, exchanging them for money, took the price of them,

³⁵ And put it at the feet of the Apostles for distribution to everyone as he had need.

⁴⁵ And exchanging their goods and property for money, they made division of it among them all, as they had need.

²² And Jesus, hearing it, said to him, One thing you still have need of; get money for your goods, and give it away to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; and come after me.

¹⁹ Make no store of wealth for yourselves on earth, where it may be turned to dust by worms and weather, and where thieves may come in by force and take it away.

²⁰ But make a store for yourselves in heaven, where it will not be turned to dust and where thieves do not come in to take it away:

²¹ For where your wealth is, there will your heart be.

²¹ So that is what comes to the man who gets wealth for himself, and has not wealth in the eyes of God.

¹⁷ Give orders to those who have money and goods in this life, not to be lifted up in their minds, or to put their hope in the uncertain chances of wealth, but in God who gives us in full measure all things for our use;

¹⁸ And to do good, having wealth in good works, being quick to give, taking part with one another;

¹⁹ Making ready for themselves a safe place for the time to come, so that the true life may be theirs.

² How while they were undergoing every sort of trouble, and were in the greatest need, they took all the greater joy in being able to give freely to the needs of others.

⁶ (He said this, not because he had any love for the poor; but because he was a thief, and, having the money-bag, took for himself what was put into it.)

⁹ And I say to you, Make friends for yourselves through the wealth of this life, so that when it comes to an end, you may be taken into the eternal resting-places.

⁶ Much has been planted, but little got in; you take food, but have not enough; you take drink, but are not full; you are clothed, but no one is warm; and he who gets payment for his work, gets it to put it into a bag full of holes.

¹ Come now, you men of wealth, give yourselves to weeping and crying because of the bitter troubles which are coming to you.

² Your wealth is unclean and insects have made holes in your clothing.

³ Your gold and your silver are wasted and their waste will be a witness against you, burning into your flesh. You have put by your store in the last days.

⁴¹ But if you give to the poor such things as you are able, then all things are clean to you.
