The True Riches

For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.  As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.  For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich.  But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us.  Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? Or despisest thou the riches of His goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out! How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.  In Whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace; Wherein He hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence. The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints. That in the ages to come He might shew the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.  More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.  The law of Thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.  Therefore I love Thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.  How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!  A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.

Preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ. That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man. But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ. Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy.  Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
