Proverbs On Wealth And Deeds

What better way to live a righteous life than to obey G-d’s commandments. From Genesis to Malachi there is never a verse that G-d ever rewarded a person of not obeying His laws, teachings, instructions, decrees, statutes, precepts, ordinances and commandments.

Sadly, Christians do not know or playing innocent or ignorant that the Greek book teaches the exact opposite from what is written in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament).
