Paying Debts

The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.

The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous showeth mercy, and giveth.

A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.

The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.

If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?

Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.

Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

Behold, the hire of the laborers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.
