Brothers, I for one do not consider myself to have appropriated this; my one thought is, by forgetting what lies behind me and straining to what lies before me,

Beloved, you must not ignore this one fact, that with the Lord a single day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a single day.

Sell

Sell what you possess and give it away in alms, make purses for yourselves that never wear out: get treasure in heaven that never fails, that no thief can get at, no moth destroy.

And I tell you, use mammon, dishonest as it is, to make friends for yourselves, so that when you die they may welcome you to the eternal abodes.

Store up no treasures for yourselves on earth, where moth and rust corrode, where thieves break in and steal:

The believers all kept together; they shared all they had with one another,

There was not a needy person among them, for those who owned land or houses would sell them and bring the proceeds of the sale,

tell them to be bountiful, rich in good works, open-handed and generous,

And come

He said to all, "If anyone wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross day after day, and so follow me;

Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go and sell your property, give the money to the poor and you shall have treasure in heaven; then come and follow me."
