It would be praiseworthy and noble to reflect on this pointof the Bible taken from the book of the first letter of St. Paul to Timothy chapter 6: 17-19. "Charge the rich to this world not to be proud, and trust in the uncertainty of riches, but in God; Who provides all things in abundance for our enjoyment. Let them do good and be rich i god works, giving readily, sharing with others. And thus providing for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, in order that they may lay hold on to the true life."
In these verses, St. Paul admonished especially the few elect (who are rich and abundance of the earthly goods) not to trust in there money, but in God; who provides everything in abundance. he exhorts them to do good to others by way of sharing and freely giving to those who have less. Not to be proud and arrogant to others because they have much money and can afford to pay for a life of a person. God is not please with these! It is absolutely sinful and in human!
Let us be reminded of that warning Jesus had given to the rich is recorded in the gospel: "It would be easier for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter heaven."
For us, who have less in life, let us have a contest in growing rich in doing good works, so that the end of our life Christ jesus will give us the reward He had promise to those who fought a good fight for heaven's sake!
