⁹ And that women may be dressed in simple clothing, with a quiet and serious air; not with twisted hair and gold or jewels or robes of great price;

¹⁰ But clothed with good works, as is right for women who are living in the fear of God.

¹¹ Let a woman quietly take the place of a learner and be under authority.

⁶ But true faith, with peace of mind, is of great profit:

⁷ For we came into the world with nothing, and we are not able to take anything out;

⁸ But if we have food and a roof over us, let that be enough.

⁹ But those who have a desire for wealth are falling into danger, and are taken as in a net by a number of foolish and damaging desires, through which men are overtaken by death and destruction.

³⁶ What profit has a man if he gets all the world with the loss of his life?

¹⁶ Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great wealth together with trouble.

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;

¹⁰ When goods are increased, the number of those who take of them is increased; and what profit has the owner but to see them?

⁹ But those who have a desire for wealth are falling into danger, and are taken as in a net by a number of foolish and damaging desires, through which men are overtaken by death and destruction.

⁸ Put far from me all false and foolish things: do not give me great wealth or let me be in need, but give me only enough food:

⁵ Then put to death your bodies which are of the earth; wrong use of the flesh, unclean things, passion, evil desires and envy, which is the worship of strange gods;

¹⁵ And he said to them, Take care to keep yourselves free from the desire for property; for a man's life is not made up of the number of things which he has.

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

⁴ Wealth is of no profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness keeps a man safe from death.

³² And all those who were of the faith were one in heart and soul: and not one of them said that any of the things which he had was his property only; but they had all things in common.

¹ A good name is more to be desired than great wealth, and to be respected is better than silver and gold.

¹⁶ How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! and to get knowledge is more to be desired than silver.

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.

⁵ Be free from the love of money and pleased with the things which you have; for he himself has said, I will be with you at all times.

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.

⁵ Are your eyes lifted up to it? it is gone: for wealth takes to itself wings, like an eagle in flight up to heaven.

²⁶ All the day the sinner goes after his desire: but the upright man gives freely, keeping nothing back.

¹⁵ And this again is a great evil, that in all points as he came so will he go; and what profit has he in working for the wind?
