Proverbs 28:6 Cross References

Proverbs 28:6

6: It is better to be poor and honest than rich and crooked.

Jesus said, "There was a certain rich man who was splendidly clothed and who lived each day in luxury.
At his door lay a diseased beggar named Lazarus.
As Lazarus lay there longing for scraps from the rich man's table, the dogs would come and lick his open sores.
Finally, the beggar died and was carried by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried,
and his soul went to the place of the dead. There, in torment, he saw Lazarus in the far distance with Abraham.

The honest will be rescued from harm, but those who are crooked will be destroyed.

A few days later Felix came with his wife, Drusilla, who was Jewish. Sending for Paul, they listened as he told them about faith in Christ Jesus.
As he reasoned with them about righteousness and self-control and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified. "Go away for now," he replied. "When it is more convenient, I'll call for you again."
He also hoped that Paul would bribe him, so he sent for him quite often and talked with him.
Two years went by in this way; then Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus. And because Felix wanted to gain favor with the Jewish leaders, he left Paul in prison.
