1 Peter 1:18-19 (NKJ)

Luke 15:18-19 (NKJ)

But love your enemies, and do good, and lend,
expecting nothing in return, and your reward will
be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for
36
he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.
Be merciful,
even as your Father is merciful.
Luke 14:12–14(ESV)
He said also to the man who had invited him, “When you
give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your
brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, lest they also
13
invite you in return and you be repaid.
But when you give
a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,
14and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you.
For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”
Revelation 7:15 (ESV)
Therefore they are before the throne of God, and

Over such the second death has no

“Resolved, to endeavor to obtain for myself
as much happiness, in the other world, as I
possibly can.” —Jonathan Edwards
(“The Resolutions of Jonathan Edwards”)
Ecclesiastes 2:18–19 (ESV)
I hated all my toil in which I toil under the sun, seeing
that I must leave it to the man who will come after
19
me, and who knows whether he will be wise or a
fool?
Yet he will be master of all for which I toiled
and used my wisdom under the sun.
This also is
vanity.
Matthew 5:29-30 (ESV)
29 If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and
ff
throw it away.
For it is better that you lose one of your
members than that your whole body be thrown into
30
hell.
And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it o
and throw it away.
For it is better that you lose one of
your members than that your whole body go into hell.
Matthew 6:19-21 ESV
"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth,
where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break
20
in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in
heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and
21
where thieves do not break in and steal.
For where
your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
1 Timothy 6:17-19 (ESV)
As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to
be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of
riches, but on God, who richly provides us with
18
everything to enjoy.
They are to do good, to be rich
in good works, to be generous and ready to share,
19 thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good
foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of
that which is truly life.
