another, two, and to another, one, each according to his own ability; and he
went on his journey. Immediately the one who had received the five talents went
and traded with them, and gained five more talents. In the same manner the one
who had received the two talents gained two more. But he who received the one
talent went away, and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master”s money. Now
after a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with
them. The one who had received the five talents came up and brought five more
talents, saying, ‘Master, you entrusted five talents to me. See, I have gained
five more talents.” His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave
You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things;
enter into the joy of your master.” Also the one who had received the two
talents came up and said, ‘Master, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have
gained two more talents.” His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful
slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many
things; enter into the joy of your master.” And the one also who had received
the one talent came up and said, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping
where you did not sow and gathering where you scattered no seed. And I was
afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is
yours.” But his master answered and said to him, ‘You wicked, lazy slave, you
knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I scattered no seed. ‘Then
you ought to have put my money in the bank, and on my arrival I would have
received my money back with interest. Therefore take away the talent from him,
and give it to the one who has the ten talents.” For to everyone who has, more
shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not
have, even what he does have shall be taken away. Throw out the worthless slave
into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of
teeth.

Now there was a great outcry of the people and of their wives against
their Jewish brothers. For there were those who said, “We, our sons and our
daughters are many; therefore let us get grain that we may eat and live.” There
were others who said, “We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards and our
houses that we might get grain because of the famine.” Also there were those
who said, “We have borrowed money for the king”s tax on our fields and our
vineyards. Now our flesh is like the flesh of our brothers, our children like
their children. Yet behold, we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be
slaves, and some of our daughters are forced into bondage already, and we are
helpless because our fields and vineyards belong to others.” Then I was very
angry when I had heard their outcry and these words. I consulted with myself and
contended with the nobles and the rulers and said to them, You are exacting
usury, each from his brother!” Therefore, I held a great assembly against them.
I said to them, “We according to our ability have redeemed our Jewish brothers
who were sold to the nations; now would you even sell your brothers that they
may be sold to us?” Then they were silent and could not find a word to say.
Again I said, “The thing which you are doing is not good; should you not walk in
the fear of our God because of the reproach of the nations, our enemies? And
likewise I, my brothers and my servants are lending them money and grain.
Please, let us leave off this usury. Please, give back to them this very day
their fields, their vineyards, their olive groves and their houses, also the
hundredth part of the money and of the grain, the new wine and the oil that you
are exacting from them.” Then they said, “We will give it back and will require
nothing from them; we will do exactly as you say.” So I called the priests and
took an oath from them that they would do according to this promise. I also
shook out the front of my garment and said, “Thus may God shake out every man
from his house and from his possessions who does not fulfill this promise; even
thus may he be shaken out and emptied.” And all the assembly said, “Amen!” And
they praised the LORD. Then the people did according to this promise.

Love of Money in the Bible
Matthew 19:21-26
Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be complete, go and sell your
possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure
in heaven; and come, follow Me.” But when the young man heard this
statement, he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property. And
Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to
enter the kingdom of heaven. “Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go
through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
When the disciples heard this, they were very astonished and said, “Then who can
be saved?” And looking at them Jesus said to them, “With people this is
impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

soul?

flee from these things, you man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness,
faith, love, perseverance and gentleness.

upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments have become moth-eaten. Your
gold and your silver have rusted; and their rust will be a witness against you
and will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have
stored up your treasure! Behold, the pay of the laborers who mowed your fields,
and which has been withheld by you, cries out against you; and the outcry of
those who did the harvesting has reached the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. You
have lived luxuriously on the earth and led a life of wanton pleasure; you have
fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. You have condemned and put to death
the righteous man; he does not resist you.

bridegroom was delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep. But at midnight
there was a shout, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ Then all
those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. The foolish said to the prudent,
‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the prudent
answered, ‘No, there will not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the
dealers and buy some for yourselves.’ And while they were going away to make the
purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the
wedding feast; and the door was shut. Later the other virgins also came, saying,

goods. And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many
years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry.”‘ But God said to him,

and traded with them, and gained five more talents. In the same manner the one
who had received the two talents gained two more. But he who received the one
talent went away, and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master”s money. “Now
after a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with
them. The one who had received the five talents came up and brought five more
talents, saying, ‘Master, you entrusted five talents to me. See, I have gained
five more talents.” His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave
you were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things;

slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many
things; enter into the joy of your master.” And the one also who had received

afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is
yours.” But his master answered and said to him, ‘You wicked, lazy slave, you
knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I scattered no seed. ‘Then
you ought to have put my money in the bank, and on my arrival I would have
received my money back with interest. ‘Therefore take away the talent from him,
and give it to the one who has the ten talents.” For to everyone who has, more
shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not
have, even what he does have shall be taken away. Throw out the worthless slave
into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of
teeth.

the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and
yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? And
who of you by being worried can add a single hour to to his life?

not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. But if God

into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? You men of little faith! And
do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not keep worrying.
