and the disciples, according as any one was prospering, determined each of them to send for ministration to the brethren dwelling in Judea,

sell your goods, and give alms, make to yourselves bags that become not old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where thief doth not come near, nor moth destroy;

and I say to you, Make to yourselves friends out of the mammon of unrighteousness, that when ye may fail, they may receive you to the age-during tabernacles.

Go, now, ye rich! weep, howling over your miseries that are coming upon you;
