Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"a man to whom God giveth riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacketh nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but an alien eateth it; this is vanity, and it is an evil disease." — Ecclesiastes 6:2 (ASV)

Riches, wealth, and honour.— The three words are used together regarding Solomon (2 Chronicles 1:11).
