"For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on.

Are you not worth much more than they?"

Acts 23;33-35
"I have coveted no one’s silver or gold or apparel. Yes, you yourselves know that these hands have served for my necessities, and for those who were with me.

Jesus on Business, Labor, Taxes and Making Money:
Romans 13:5-7
"Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience.

Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor."
Leviticus 19:9-10
“When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field right up to its edge, neither shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest.

Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs."

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
1 Peter 4:8
"Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins."
