Do not let your wealth become your curse. For remember, in humility, where you were in the midst of your poverty. Who did you cry to? and whose arms were stretched out to assist you? It was the Lord God, your helper. Do not despise those in humble circumstances.
Do not allow arrogance to contaminate your heart, nor pride your thoughts. God himself will humble the proud, and exalt the humble. It is he who is your dwelling place, and he who saved you. You were blessed so that you may bless others. Do not use the same hands that were made for healing, to hurt others. And do not allow for bitterness and sweetness to coincide on your lips.
Love others, in the manner you desire for them to love you. Be a blessing.
1 Peter 3:8-12
8 Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. 9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. 10 For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech.
11 They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
