SCRIPTURE

"There is that coveteth greedily all the day long; But the righteous giveth and withholdeth not." — Proverbs 21:26 (ASV)

He covets greedily all the day long, that he may consume it on his lusts (James 4:3), while the righteous (Proverbs 21:21) gives to all who need, remembering that he is a steward (Luke 16:9), not an owner, and that blessing will attend upon him for so doing (Acts 20:35).
