² Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.

¹⁹ Now set your heart and your soul to seek after Yahweh your God; arise therefore, and build the sanctuary of Yahweh God, to bring the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of Yahweh.

²³ But he turned, and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling-block to me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of men."

¹⁵ Don't love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love isn't in him.

¹⁶ For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn't the Father's, but is the world's.

¹⁷ The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains forever.

¹ If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.

⁴ that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

⁵ For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

⁶ For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

³⁶ Turn my heart toward your statutes, Not toward selfish gain.

³⁷ Turn my eyes away from looking at worthless things. Revive me in your ways.

¹⁹ whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.

²⁰ For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;

¹⁵ He said to them, "Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man's life doesn't consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses."

⁵ Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;

¹⁴ "Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.

⁸ "His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light.

⁹ I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents.

²³ But I am in a dilemma between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

¹¹ If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

¹⁹ "Don't lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;

¹⁹ "Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.

²⁰ A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was laid at his gate, full of sores,

²¹ and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.

²² It happened that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.

²³ In Hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom.

²⁴ He cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.'

²⁵ "But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in like manner, bad things. But now here he is comforted and you are in anguish.

¹⁴ In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; yes, God has made the one side by side with the other, to the end that man should not find out anything after him.

¹¹ Their inward thought is that their houses will endure forever, And their dwelling places to all generations. They name their lands after themselves.

¹² But man, despite his riches, doesn't endure. He is like the animals that perish.

¹³ This is the destiny of those who are foolish, And of those who approve their sayings. Selah.

¹⁴ They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall decay in Sheol, Far from their mansion.

¹⁵ But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, For he will receive me. Selah.

¹⁶ Don't be afraid when a man is made rich, When the glory of his house is increased.

¹⁷ For when he dies he shall carry nothing away. His glory shall not descend after him.

³ In addition, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, seeing that I have a treasure of my own of gold and silver, I give it to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house,

⁵ Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.
