1. Those who are sent out by God to serve Him can expect Him to supply their material needs. "Even so the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel." 1Corinthians 9:14.
2. God, in some cases, directs a believer to support himself in doing the Lord's work. "But I have used none of these things, nor have I written these things that is should be done so to me...." 1 Corinthians 9:15.
3. That which is valuable must sometimes be destroyed because of the danger of its leading into sin. "And if your foot or hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire." Matthew 18:8,9
4. Believers may rightully give special consideration to other believers. "Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the hosuehold of faith." Galatians 6:10.
5. Believers are not to base their respect for people on their wealth. "But if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors." James 1:9
6. Lending and borrowing money are connected with freedom for a nation or a person. "The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender." Proverbs 22:7
