Chapter 5: Warns against setting one's heart on wealth. This
really mean: practice detachment,the sort of thing St.Paul
calls for in l Cor 7.29-32:  Use things as though not having
them.That is, do not let them get such a hold on you that they
could draw you to sin, or even imperfection.  The more free
one is from such pulls, the better will be his spiritual
eyesight, for then the promptings of grace toward God's will
will be picked up by the mind.

It is  a mistake (vv.4-7) to say that since God is slow
to anger we can sin more freely.  God has both mercy and
wrath, and presumption is dangerous.
