StatementSound understanding
Provision is allottedKeep seeking lawful means responsibly
Sin may affect provisionDo not label every poor person sinful
Wealth is a trialRiches are not inherently sinful; rights and conduct matter
Charity is meritoriousDo not neglect debts or wages in its name
Confidence in provision does not excuse passivity, and the language of trials does not permit verdicts about other people. One remains responsible for one’s choices.
