答：(1)诚实的劳动与工作，应当得到报酬。圣经上说："工人得工价是应当的"（路10:7），"若有人不肯作工，就不可吃饭"（帖后3:10）；(2)圣经上讲的"贪财"，与正当的收入有根本的区别。贪财是指损人利己，唯利是图，以各种不正当的手段来谋求私利；所以圣经告诫说："不可贪恋人的房屋，也不可贪恋人的……牛驴并他一切所有的"（出20:17），"不贪不义之财"（提前3:3、8）。正当收入是指凭诚实正直的劳动而增加的收入，这乃是上帝的赐福（参申28:2-6）；(3)圣经明确指剥削与压榨（参摩2:6-7，6:3-7，8:4-10；雅5:1-4)，反对放债取利和收受贿赂（出23:8；诗15:5）；(4)对于一切正当的收入，我们也应当看为是 神的托付（参路19:11-13），既不滥用，也不吝啬；而是按主的旨意使用，并乐意助人（参徒20:33-35；加6:10），乐意奉献（参出35:4；林后9:6-8）。

95. What is the teaching in the Bible regarding wealth?

a. Honest work and labour should be rewarded. The Bible says:”for the labourer deserves his wages” (Luke 10, 7); “If anyone will not work, let him not eat (2Thessalonians 3, 10).”

b. What the Bible calls “greed” is fundamentally different from proper income. Greed denotes benefitting oneself at others expense, to be intent only on profit, and to use every type of improper means to obtain that profit for oneself; thus the Bible admonishes us :”You shall not covet your neighbors house, …or his ox or his ass, or anything that is your neighbor’s” (Exodus 20, 17); “not greedy for gain” (1Timothy3, 3, 8). Proper income indicates that accumulated through honest and upright labour and it is a blessing from God (seeDeuteronomy 28, 2-6).

c. The Bible clearly censures oppression and exploitation (see Amos 2, 6-7; 6, 3-7; 8, 4-10; James 5, 1-4); it opposes exorbitant interest and bribes (Exodus 23, 8; Psalm 15, 5).

d. We should also view all types of proper income as something entrusted to us by God (see Luke 19, 11-13) and should neither squander nor hoard it; but should follow God’s will in its use,giving willingly to aid others(Acts 20,33-35; Galatians 6,10)and willingly make offerings(Exodus 35,4; 2Corinthians 9,6-8).
