We should maintain that if an interpretation of any word in any religion leads to disharmony and does not positively further the welfare of the many, then such an interpretation is to be regarded as wrong; that is, against the will of God, or as the working of Satan or Mara.

A useful listing of biblical passages from an entirely different angle is found on a webpage entitled, "The Bible and the Poor." You might want to check it out.
