Proverbs 13:22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children; but the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous [man].
__________________ When one asked a leader of a Hindu nation what would cause them to move towards Christianity he responded with great clarity and directness, “First, I would suggest all you Christians, missionaries and all, must begin to live more like Jesus Christ. Second, practice your religion without adulterating it or toning it down. Third, emphasize love and make it your working force, for love is central in Christianity. Fourth, study the non-Christian religions more sympathetically to find the good that is within them in order to have a more sympathetic approach to the people.”
Proverbs 14:23 In all labor there is profit,
But idle chatter leads only to poverty.

2Cor. 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:7 Let each one [give] as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion, for God loves (He takes pleasure in, prizes above other things, and is unwilling to abandon or to do without) a cheerful (joyous, "prompt to do it") giver [whose heart is in his giving].

3Jn 1:2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
Psa 1:1 Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
Psa 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
Psa 1:3 He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.

1 Chronicles 22:12 Only may the Lord give you wisdom and understanding as you are put in charge of Israel, that you may keep the law of the Lord your God.
13 Then you will prosper if you are careful to keep and fulfill the statutes and ordinances with which the Lord charged Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and of good courage. Dread not and fear not; be not dismayed.
Here's the "CindyisHis paraphrase" applicable to the new covenant believer.
Receive wisdom and understanding from the Lord.
Keep the two commandments Jesus gave us to the love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love our neighbor as ourselves.
Do what He has assigned you to do.
Do not fear, but be of good courage.
You will prosper!

He who spared not His own Son but gave Him up for us., how will He not with Him also give us all things to richly enjoy. - 1 corinth. 3:21-22
Thank you, opljar, and welcome to CF!
You know, I thought this verse was in Romans 8, somewhere along in 32 or so. It's a great one! I'll have to check on where it is. Maybe you're right! - 1 Cor. 3.
