Wealth Destructive
James 5:1-6
Go to now, you rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come on you.…


When Crates threw his gold into the sea, he cried out, Ego perdam te, ne tu perdas me. That is, "I will destroy you, lest you should destroy me." Thus, if the world be not put to death here, it will put us to death hereafter.

(T. Secker.)
