21 Jesus said to him: “If you want to be perfect,* go sell your belongings and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven;+ and come be my follower.”+

17 Instruct* those who are rich in the present system of things* not to be arrogant,* and to place their hope, not on uncertain riches,+ but on God, who richly provides us with all the things we enjoy.+
