According to Proverbs, there are seven things worth more than money:
- 1. Righteousness.
Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath,
but righteousness delivers from death. Prov 11:4 (NIV)
2. Kindness
A kindhearted woman gains respect,
but ruthless men gain only wealth. Prov 11:16 (NIV)
3. Peacefulness
Better a dry crust with peace and quiet
than a house full of feasting, with strife. Prov 17:1 (NIV)
4. Wisdom
Of what use is money in the hand of a fool,
since he has no desire to get wisdom? Prov 17:16 (NIV)
5. Integrity
A fortune made by a lying tongue
is a fleeting vapor and a deadly snare. Prov 21:6 (NIV)
6. A good marriage
Houses and wealth are inherited from parents,
but a prudent wife is from the LORD. Prov 19:14 (NIV)
7. A good name
A good name is more desirable than great riches;
to be esteemed is better than silver or gold. Prov 22:1 (NIV)
