1 Tim. 6▪ 17, 18, 19. Charge them that are Rich in this world, that they be not high minded, nor trust in uncertainty of Riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy: that they do Good: that they be rich in Good Works; ready to distribute; willing to communicate: Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.]
Heb. 13. 16. But to do Good and to Communicate forget not; for with such sacrifice God is well pleased.
Luke 16. 9, 13. I say unto you, Make you friends of the Mammon of unrighteousness that when ye fail they may receive you into everlasting habitations. If ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous Mammon, who will commit to your trust the true Riches? ye cannot serve God and Mammon.
