Sonke siyayifuna imali ukuze senelise ukunakekela izimuli zethu. (IZaga 30:8) Kuliqiniso lokhu ngoba ‘imali iyisiphephelo.’ (UmTshumayeli 7:12) Kungaba nzima ukuthi wena lomkakho lixoxe ngendlela yokusebenzisa imali kodwa lingavumeli ukuthi imali ilenze lingazwanani. (Kwabase-Efesu 4:32) Kumele lithembane futhi lincedisane ekukhetheni indlela yokusebenzisa imali.

Kambe kazukuqala ahlale phansi abalise indleko ukuze abone ingabe ulayo yini imali yokuwuqeda na?” (ULukha 14:28) Kuqakathekile ukuthi lihlele lobabili ukuthi lizayisebenzisa njani imali. (U-Amosi 3:3) Vumelanani ukuthi lifuna ukuthengani lokuthi lifuna ukusebenzisa malini. (IZaga 31:16) Ukuba lemali eyenela ukuthenga ulutho oluthile kakutsho ukuthi sekufanele uluthenge. Lingadali izikwelede kodwa sebenzisani imali elilayo kuphela.​—IZaga 21:5; 22:7.
