SUMMARY

1. Love of money separates people from God and so causes them in the end to lose the only lasting happiness there is, namely, God himself.

2. Pomps and vanity mean things which look very attractive but which have ‘nothing in them’.

3. Sinful lusts of the flesh mean things that the body wants which it ought not to have.
