詩篇 37:4
Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
又要以耶和華為樂，他就將你心裡所求的賜給你。
馬太福音 6:33
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
你們要先求他的國和他的義，這些東西都要加給你們了。
哥林多前書 10:10
And do not grumble, as some of them did-and were killed by the destroying angel.
你們也不要發怨言，像他們有發怨言的，就被滅命的所滅。
希伯來書 13:5
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."
你們存心不可貪愛錢財，要以自己所有的為足；因為主曾說：『我總不撇下你，也不丟棄你。』
彼得前書 3:7
- 12
Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.
Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.
For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech.
They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it.
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."
你們作丈夫的，也要按情理﹝原文作知識﹞和妻子同住；因他比你軟弱，（比你軟弱：原文作是軟弱的器皿）與你一同承受生命之恩的，所以要敬重他。這樣，便叫你們的禱告沒有阻礙。
總而言之，你們都要同心，彼此體恤，相愛如弟兄，存慈憐謙卑的心。
不以惡報惡，以辱罵還辱罵，倒要祝福；因你們是為此蒙召，好叫你們承受福氣。
因為經上說：人若愛生命，願享美福，須要禁止舌頭不出惡言，嘴唇不說詭詐的話；
也要離惡行善；尋求和睦，一心追趕。
因為，主的眼看顧義人；主的耳聽他們的祈禱。惟有行惡的人，主向他們變臉。
馬太福音 6:24
"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
「一個人不能事奉兩個主；不是惡這個，愛那個，就是重這個，輕那個。你們不能又事奉神，又事奉瑪門（瑪門：財利的意思）。」
帖撒羅尼迦前書 5:18
give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
凡事謝恩；因為這是神在基督耶穌裡向你們所定的旨意。
提摩太前書 6:6
- 10
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.
But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.
Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
然而，敬虔加上知足的心便是大利了；
因為我們沒有帶什麼到世上來，也不能帶什麼去。
只要有衣有食，就當知足。
但那些想要發財的人，就陷在迷惑、落在網羅和許多無知有害的私慾裡，叫人沉在敗壞和滅亡中。
貪財是萬惡之根。有人貪戀錢財，就被引誘離了真道，用許多愁苦把自己刺透了。
彼得前書 5:7
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
你們要將一切的憂慮卸給神，因為他顧念你們。
路加福音 3:14
Then some soldiers asked him, "And what should we do?" He replied, "Don't extort money and don't accuse people falsely-be content with your pay."
又有兵丁問他說：「我們當做什麼呢？」約翰說：「不要以強暴待人，也不要訛詐人，自己有錢糧就當知足。」
路加福音 11:13
If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"
你們雖然不好，尚且知道拿好東西給兒女；何況天父，豈不更將聖靈給求他的人嗎？」
路加福音 12:15
Then he said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions."
於是對眾人說：「你們要謹慎自守，免去一切的貪心，因為人的生命不在乎家道豐富。」
羅馬書 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
我們曉得萬事都互相效力，叫愛神的人得益處，就是按他旨意被召的人。
哥林多後書 8:9
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.
你們知道我們主耶穌基督的恩典：他本來富足，卻為你們成了貧窮，叫你們因他的貧窮，可以成為富足。
腓立比書 4:10
- 13
I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.
I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
我靠主大大的喜樂，因為你們思念我的心如今又發生；你們向來就思念我，只是沒有機會。
我並不是因缺乏說這話；我無論在什麼景況都可以知足，這是我已經學會了。
我知道怎樣處卑賤，也知道怎樣處豐富；或飽足，或飢餓；或有餘，或缺乏，隨事隨在，我都得了秘訣。
我靠著那加給我力量的，凡事都能做。
