Paul wrote: “Give orders to those who are rich in the present system of things not to be high - minded, and to rest their hope, not on uncertain riches, but on God, who furnishes us all things richly for our enjoyment; to work at good, to be rich in fine works, to be liberal, ready to share, safely treasuring up for themselves a fine foundation for the future, in order that they may get a firm hold on the real life. ”
Paulus kirjutas: „Neid, kes on rikkad selles maailmas, manitse mitte olla suurelised ega loota kaduva rikkuse peale, vaid elava Jumala peale, kes meile annab kõike rohkesti tarvituseks, teha head ja rikkaks saada heade tegude poolest, olla helde käega ning jagada teistele ja koguda enestele raudvara heaks aluseks tuleviku jaoks, et saavutada tõelist elu ”.
