John 15:4-5 (Jesus, the Word, says) Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in Me.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit; for without Me ye can do nothing.

Proverbs 23:4 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
( Comments from Pam Padgett: Rather than laboring to be rich, let us seek to please God, living godly lives, and go in the way HE leads us. For as we do this, HE provides all our needs.
And let us be content having food and raiment, as Paul instructed:
I Timothy 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
