¹ The lord will withhold no good thing from those who walk uprightly. The false ministers of Babylon today preach a gospel of prosperity, saying that God will bless a man who still walks in his carnal, sinful, selfish nature. This is a lie. If God were to bless a man who is still selfish, who has not been broken, who has not crucified his sinful nature, then that man would spend his blessing on satisfying his lusts and pleasures — wasting it, and digging himself into a pit even deeper; which pit a man has to dig himself out of, either in this life, or the next life, called Hell. So until a man's selfish nature has been destroyed by the chastising hand of God, he does not walk uprightly, and he does not receive the blessing of God.
