===== Key texts: =====
* 1 Timothy 6:17–19 – Rich believers are told not to trust in wealth but to be rich in good works, generous and ready to share, laying up treasure for the coming age.Bible Gateway<ref>{{cite web|title=Bible Gateway|url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Timothy+6%3A17-19&version=NIV|publisher=Bible Gateway|access-date=2025-11-22}}</ref>
* James 5:1–6 – Sharp warning against hoarding wealth, failing to pay workers, and living in self-indulgence; such behaviour brings judgment.Bible Gateway<ref>{{cite web|title=Bible Gateway|url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+5&version=NIV|publisher=Bible Gateway|access-date=2025-11-22}}</ref>

Alignment with KI if implemented well:
* KI explicitly critiques greed, fear and corruption in the marketplace, aligning with James’ condemnation of unjust wealth and exploitation.Facebook<ref>{{cite web|title=Facebook|url=https://www.facebook.com/groups/648385665362874/posts/1017061918495245/|publisher=facebook.com|access-date=2025-11-22}}</ref>
* If KI teaches wealthy business owners to fund church work, relieve poverty, and act ethically, that is consistent with 1 Timothy 6’s call to rich Christians to be generous and do good.

Tension / caution:
* Some marketplace-ministry and “end-time wealth transfer” language in the wider movement (not necessarily KI alone) emphasizes economic power as a central instrument of God’s end-time plan, very similar to some strands of New Apostolic Reformation thought.GraceLife Blog<ref>{{cite web|title=GraceLife Blog|url=https://gracelifethoughts.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/new-apostolic-reformation-end-time-transfer-of-wealth.pdf|publisher=GraceLife Blog|access-date=2025-11-22}}</ref>
* The New Testament never guarantees that faithful discipleship produces business success; in fact, it often expects suffering, loss, and marginalization. Identifying economic scaling too closely with Kingdom advancement can distort priorities.
