WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS: The Bible foretold that in “the last days,” love of money and pleasures would supplant love of God and neighbor. (2 Timothy 3:1-5) Aware of the spiritual dangers associated with wealth, a Bible writer said to Jehovah God: “Give me neither poverty nor riches.”
BIBLIA INASEMA NINI: Biblia ilitabiri kwamba katika “siku za mwisho,” watu wangependa pesa na raha kuliko wanavyompenda Mungu na jirani. (2 Timotheo 3:1-5) Mwandikaji mmoja wa Biblia aliyetambua hatari za kiroho zinazohusianishwa na utajiri alisema maneno haya: “Usinipe umaskini wala utajiri.”
