Riches do not profit in the day of wrath,

But righteousness delivers from death.

Even those who trust in their wealth
And boast in the abundance of their riches?

So as to deprive the needy of justice
And rob the poor of My people of their rights,
So that widows may be their spoil
And that they may plunder the orphans.

Neither their silver nor their gold
Will be able to deliver them
On the day of the Lord’s wrath;
And all the earth will be devoured
In the fire of His jealousy,
For He will make a complete end,
Indeed a terrifying one,
Of all the inhabitants of the earth.

Then He said to them, “Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.”

Now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried.

But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries which are coming upon you.

But

In the way of righteousness is life,

And in its pathway there is no death.

Therefore, O king, may my advice be pleasing to you:

break away now from your sins by doing righteousness and from your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor, in case there may be a prolonging of your prosperity.’

so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,
