1. 比安贫乐道更难的，是给你财富，而你仍然是原来的那一个人。

「你要嘱咐那些今世富足的人，不要心思高傲，也不要寄望于无定的钱财，只要寄望于那将百物丰富的供给我们享受的神；」（提前6:17）

Charge those who are rich in the present age not to be high-minded, nor to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches but on God, who affords us all things richly for our enjoyment;

－1 Timothy 6:17

2. 学会怎么赚钱以后，下一步是学习怎么使唤钱，而不是被钱使唤。

「因为贪财是万恶之根，有人贪恋钱财，就受迷惑，离弃了信仰，用许多苦痛把自己刺透了。」（提前6:10）

For the love of money is a root of all evils, because of which some, aspiring after money, have been led away from the faith and pierced themselves through with many pains.

－1 Timothy 6:10

3. 要赚得比钱更多，否则潮汐退去时，连那些赚来的钱也不是你的。

「神却对他说，无知的人哪，今夜必要你的魂；你所豫备的，要归谁？那为自己积财，对神却不富足的，也是这样。」（路12:20-21）

But God said to him, Foolish one, this night they are requiring your soul from you; and the things which you have prepared, whose will they be? So is he who stores up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.

－Luke12:20-21

4. 当你总是为自己保留时，最好去查查天上的账户是不是空的。

「你们要给人，就必有给你们的，用十足的量器，连摇带按，上尖下流的倒在你们怀里；因为你们用甚么量器量给人，也必用甚么量器量给你们。」（路6:38）

Give, and it will be given to you; a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, they will give into your bosom. For with what measure you measure, it shall be measured to you in return.

－Luke6:38

5. 活出你在地上的价值，比用肝换来一张支票更富足。

「所以人若洁净自己，脱离这些卑贱的，就必成为贵重的器皿，分别为圣，合乎主人使用，豫备行各样的善事。」（提后2:21）

If therefore anyone cleanses himself from these, he will be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, useful to the master, prepared unto every good work.

－2 Timothy 2:21

6. 用钱结交朋友，并且送给他钱也买不到的事物，这种人才是精明人。

「我又告诉你们，要借着那不义的钱财，为自己结交朋友，到了钱财无用的时候，他们可以接你们到永远的帐幕里去。」（路16:9）

And I say to you, Make friends for yourselves by means of the mammon of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles.

－Luke16:9

7. 真正的富足，是在外面一无所有的时候，才看得出里头究竟有没有！

「我知道怎样处卑贱，也知道怎样处富余；或饱足、或饥饿、或富余、或缺乏，在各事上，并在一切事上，我都学得秘诀。」（腓4:12）

I know also how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to hunger, both to abound and to lack.

－Philippians4:12
