17 and you do say in your heart, ‘My own power and the full might of my own hand have made this wealth for me.’+

15 The valuable things of a rich man are his strong town.+ The ruin of the lowly ones is their poverty.+

11 The valuable things of the rich are his strong town,+ and they are like a protective wall in his imagination.+

17 Give orders to those who are rich+ in the present system of things* not to be high-minded,*+ and to rest their hope, not on uncertain riches,+ but on God, who furnishes us all things richly for our enjoyment;+

16 because everything in the world+—the desire of the flesh+ and the desire of the eyes+ and the showy display* of one’s means of life+—does not originate with the Father, but originates with the world.+
