Philippians 4:17

And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he ma...

Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter...

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:

When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.

I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.

He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.

Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought? neither do ye kindle fire on mine altar for nought. I have no pleasure in you, saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offer...

Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit.

And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

For 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.
