The Second Temptation: Power and Property
Mat 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him unto an
exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the
glory of them;
Mat 4:9 and he said unto him, All these things
will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Mat 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee
hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him
only shalt thou serve.
Mat 6:33 But seek ye first his kingdom, and his
righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
1Jo 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things
that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not
in him.
1Jo 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust
of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vain glory of life, is not of the
Father, but is of the world.
1Jo 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the
lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
