Charity and Giving

But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

God loveth a cheerful giver; he that soweth bountifully shall reap bountifully.

Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

God loveth a cheerful giver; he that soweth bountifully shall reap bountifully.

I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down.

He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.

He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD.

Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

Do your alms in secret; the Father which seeth in secret shall reward.

Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Do your alms in secret; the Father which seeth in secret shall reward.

But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

Do your alms in secret; the Father which seeth in secret shall reward.

That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

Do your alms in secret; the Father which seeth in secret shall reward.

And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

The widow's mite — sacrificial giving over abundance.

And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

The widow's mite — sacrificial giving over abundance.

And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:

The widow's mite — sacrificial giving over abundance.

For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

The widow's mite — sacrificial giving over abundance.

There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.

There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; the liberal soul shall be made fat.

The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; the liberal soul shall be made fat.

Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

Charge the rich to be ready to distribute, willing to communicate.

That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;

Charge the rich to be ready to distribute, willing to communicate.

Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

Charge the rich to be ready to distribute, willing to communicate.

Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;

Macedonian churches gave beyond their power in deep poverty.

How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.

Macedonian churches gave beyond their power in deep poverty.

For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;

Macedonian churches gave beyond their power in deep poverty.

Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.

Macedonian churches gave beyond their power in deep poverty.

And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.

Macedonian churches gave beyond their power in deep poverty.

Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide bags which wax not old.
