'Gains' in the Bible

For he has said, “A man gains nothingwhen he becomes God’s friend.”

Ill-gotten gains do not profit anyone,but righteousness rescues from death.

A gracious woman gains honor,but violent men gain only riches.

One person gives freely,yet gains more;another withholds what is right,only to become poor.

Strike a mocker, and the inexperienced learn a lesson;rebuke the discerning, and he gains knowledge.

Now I will tell you the truth.“Three more kings will arise in Persia, and the fourth will be far richer than the others. By the power he gains through his riches, he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece.

Woe to him who dishonestly makeswealth for his houseto place his nest on high,to escape from the reach of disaster!
