The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth. PROV. XIII, 22. A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. ISAIAH XXXIII, 15. He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; 16. He shall dwell on high; his place of defense shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him: his waters shall be sure. MATT. VI, 19. Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. 1 TIM. VI, 6. But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. HEB. XIII, 16. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. HEB. VI, 10. For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. PROV. XIX, 17. He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again. PSALM XLI, 1.

Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 18. That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19. Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. 7. MEEKNESS. (1.) _Christian lowliness._ ZEPH. II, 3. Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness; it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord's anger. COL. III, 12. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering; 13. Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. EPH. IV, 2. With all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love; 3. Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
