Charity
Proverbs 3:27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it isin the power of thine hand to do it.
28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I willgive; when thou hast it by thee.
29 Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely bythee.
Matthew 5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrowof thee turn not thou away.
Matthew 6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen ofthem: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2 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 mayhave glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right handdoeth:
4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secrethimself shall reward thee openly.
2 Corinthians 8:1 Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of Godbestowed on the churches of Macedonia;
2 How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy andtheir deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
3 For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they werewilling of themselves;
4 Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and takeupon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
5 And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves tothe Lord, and unto us by the will of God.
6 Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would alsofinish in you the same grace also.
7 Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge,and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in thisgrace also.
8 I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others,and to prove the sincerity of your love.
9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich,yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might berich.
10 And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who havebegun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.
11 Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readinessto will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.
12 For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to thata man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
13 For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:
14 But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supplyfor their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want:that there may be equality:
15 As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and hethat had gathered little had no lack.
2 Corinthians 9:5 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren,that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty,whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matterof bounty, and not as of covetousness.
6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; andhe which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; notgrudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always havingall sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor:his righteousness remaineth for ever.
10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for yourfood, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth throughus thanksgiving to God.
12 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want ofthe saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;
13 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for yourprofessed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distributionunto them, and unto all men;
14 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding graceof God in you.
15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
