7. If a man prospereth more than you, be

‹ Section 6 Section 8 ›

not

grieved

,

but

pray

also

for

him

,

that

he

may

have

perfect

prosperity

.

For

perchance

it

is

expedient

for

you

thus

;

and

if

he

be

further

exalted

,

be

not

envious

,

remembering

that

all

flesh

shall

die

:

and

offer

praise

to

God

,

who

giveth

things

good

and

profitable

to

all

men

.

Seek

out

the

judgments

of

the

Lord

,

and

so

shall

thy

mind

rest

and

be

at

peace

.

And

though

a

man

become

rich

by

evil

means

,

even

as

Esau

the

brother

of

my

father

,

be

not

jealous

;

but

wait

for

the

end

of

the

Lord

.

For

either

He

taketh

His

benefits

away

from

the

wicked

,

or

leaveth

them

still

to

the

repentant

,

or

to

the

unrepentant

reserveth

punishment

for

ever

.

For

the

poor

man

who

is

free

from

envy

,

giving

thanks

to

the

Lord

in

all

things

,

is

rich

among

all

men

,

because

he

hath

not

evil

jealousy

of

men

.

Put

away

,

therefore

,

hatred

from

your

souls

,

and

love

one

another

with

uprightness

of

heart

.
