Jacob 2:19
1830 Edition
And after that ye have obtained a hope in Christ, ye shall obtain riches, if ye seek them; and ye will seek them, for the intent to do good; to clothe the naked, and to feed the hungry, and to liberate the captive, and administer relief to the sick, and the afflicted.

And after that ye have obtained a hope in Christ, ye shall obtain riches, if ye seek them; and ye will seek them, for the intent to do good; —to clothe the naked, and to feed the hungry, and to liberate the captive, and administer relief to the sick, and the afflicted.
Simple English
After you have hope in Christ, you will get riches if you look for them. You will look for them to do good. To give clothes to those without. To feed the hungry. To free prisoners. To help the sick and troubled.
Paraphrase
After you’ve found hope in Christ, then go ahead and seek riches if you want—but only so you can do good with them. Use your wealth to clothe people who have nothing to wear, feed the hungry, free prisoners, and help the sick and suffering.
