雅各書5:1-6

5:1 嗐！你們這些富足人哪，應當哭泣、號咷，因為將有苦難臨到你們身上。
5:2 你們的財物壞了，衣服也被蟲子咬了。
5:3 你們的金銀都長了銹；那銹要證明你們的不是，又要吃你們的肉，如同火燒。你們在這末世只知積攢錢財。
5:4 工人給你們收割莊稼，你們虧欠他們的工錢，這工錢有聲音呼叫，並且那收割之人的冤聲已經入了萬軍之主的耳了。
5:5 你們在世上享美福，好宴樂，當宰殺的日子竟嬌養你們的心。
5:6 你們定了義人的罪，把他殺害，他也不抵擋你們。

Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. ² Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. ³ Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. ⁴ Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. ⁵ You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.⁶ You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.

    基督信仰沒有仇富的心裡，只有行公義的呼籲！要是為富不仁，當然是上帝所恨惡的！上帝是要將豐盛賜給人，使人得享美福，使人的心滿足與喜樂！上帝是多麼看重人的需要，樂意供應給人，好使人感受到他的恩惠！

    富人若沒有覺醒，以為有錢萬事足，認為用錢可以達成自己所圖謀的事，不敬畏上帝，金錢反而成了他的網羅！「你們在世上享美福，好宴樂，當宰殺的日子竟嬌養你們的心」是很重的警告，表是金錢並不能救人的命，是不可靠的，生命是在上帝手中！

    所以，人不要以為有錢就有辦法，辦法是在上帝，是要對上帝存敬畏的心！不要自以為有錢就有勢，就可以興風作浪！誰都覬覦錢財，圖謀如何將財富搶奪，財富反而帶來殺身之禍！惟有上帝同在，才能被保守得十分安穩！
