⁵Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

⁵ Let your conuersation bee without couetousnesse: and be content with such things as yee haue. For hee hath said, ^*I will neuer leaue thee, nor forsake thee.

¹⁵Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

¹⁶For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

¹⁵Loue not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loue the world, the loue of the Father is not in him.

¹⁶For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

²¹So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

²¹So is he that laieth vp treasure for himselfe, and is not rich towards God.

^4*Riches profite not in the day of wrath: but righteousnesse deliuereth from death.

¹GO to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.

²Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.

³Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

¹¶ Goe to now, yee rich men, weepe and howle for your miseries that shall come vpon you.

²Your riches are corrupted, and your garments motheaten:

³Your gold and siluer is cankered, and the rust of them shall bee a witnesse against you, and shall eate your flesh as it were fire: ye haue heaped treasure together for the last dayes.

¹⁶How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

^16*How much better is it to get wisedome, then gold? and to get vnderstanding, rather to be chosen then siluer?

¹⁷Charge 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;

¹⁷Charge them that are rich in this world, that they bee not high minded, nor trust in ^†vncertaine riches, but in the liuing God, who giueth vs richly all things to enioy,

⁸And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

⁹But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

¹⁰For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

²²Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

²²Now when Iesus heard these things, hee said vnto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: Sell all that thou hast, and distribute vnto the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come, follow me.

³³Sell that yee haue, and giue almes: ^*prouide your selues bagges which waxe not old, a treasure in the heauens that faileth not, where no theefe approcheth, neither moth corrupteth.

¹⁰He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

¹¹When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?

¹²The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.

¹³There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.

¹⁴But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand.

¹⁰Hee that loueth siluer shall not be satisfied with siluer; nor he that loueth abundance, with increase: this is also vanitie.

¹¹When goods increase, they are increased that eate them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, sauing the beholding of them with their eyes?

^18*Neither their siluer nor their golde shall be able to deliuer them in the day of the LORDs wrath; but the whole land shall bee ^*deuoured by the fire of his iealousie: for hee shall make euen a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

²⁴And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

²⁶For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

^26†*For God giueth to a man that is good in his sight, wisedome, and knowledge, and ioy: but to the sinner hee giueth traueile, to gather and to heape vp that he may giue to him that is good before God: This also is vanitie and vexation of spirit.
