1. 比安贫乐道更难的,是给你财富,而你仍然是原来的那一个人。

“你要嘱咐那些今世富足的人,不要心思高傲,也不要寄望于无定的钱财,只要寄望于那将百物丰富的供给我们享受的神。”(提前6:17)

Charge those who are rich in the present age not to be high-minded, nor to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches but on God, who affords us all things richly for our enjoyment.-1 Timothy 6:17

2. 学会怎么赚钱以后,下一步是学习怎么使唤钱,而不是被钱使唤。

“因为贪财是万恶之根,有人贪恋钱财,就受迷惑,离弃了信仰,用许多苦痛把自己刺透了。(提前6:10)

For the love of money is a root of all evils, because of which some, aspiring after money, have been led away from the faith and pierced themselves through with many pains.-1 Timothy 6:10

3. 要赚得比钱更多,否则潮汐退去时,连那些赚来的钱也不是你的。

“神却对他说,无知的人哪,今夜必要你的魂;你所预备的,要归谁?那为自己积财,对神却不富足的,也是这样。”(路12:20-21)

But God said to him, Foolish one, this night they are requiring your soul from you; and the things which you have prepared, whose will they be? So is he who stores up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.-Luke 12:20-21


4. 当你总是为自己保留时,最好去查查天上的账户是不是空的。

“你们要给人,就必有给你们的,用十足的量器,连摇带按,上尖下流地倒在你们怀里;因为你们用什么量器量给人,也必用什么量器量给你们。”(路6:38)

Give, and it will be given to you; a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, they will give into your bosom. For with what measure you measure, it shall be measured to you in return.-Luke 6:38

5. 活出你在地上的价值,比用肝换来一张支票更富足。

“所以人若洁净自己,脱离这些卑贱的,就必成为贵重的器皿,分别为圣,合乎主人使用,预备行各样的善事。”(提后2:21)

If therefore anyone cleanses himself from these, he will be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, useful to the master, prepared unto every good work.-2 Timothy 2:21

6. 用钱结交朋友,并且送给他钱也买不到的事物,这种人才是精明人。

“我又告诉你们,要借着那不义的钱财,为自己结交朋友,到了钱财无用的时候,他们可以接你们到永远的帐幕里去。”(路16:9)

And I say to you, Make friends for yourselves by means of the mammon of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles.-Luke16:9

7. 真正的富足,是在外面一无所有的时候,才看得出里头究竟有没有!

“我知道怎样处卑贱,也知道怎样处富余;或饱足、或饥饿、或富余、或缺乏,在各事上,并在一切事上,我都学得祕诀。”(腓4:12)

I  know also how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to hunger, both to abound and to lack.-Phil. 4:12
