In the Acts of the Apostles: &#8220;Thy money be in perdition with thyself, because thou hast thought that the grace of God is possessed by money.&#8221; Also in the Gospel:&#160; &#8220;Freely ye have received, freely give.&#8221; Also in the same place:&#160; &#8220;Ye have made my Father&#8217;s house a house of merchandise; and ye have made the house of prayer a den of thieves.&#8221; Also in Isaiah: &#8220;Ye who thirst, go to the water, and as many as have not money: go, and buy, and drink without money.&#8221; Also in the Apocalypse: &#8220;I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that thirsteth from the fountain of the water of life freely. He who shall overcome shall possess these things, and their inheritance; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.&#8221;
