Giving
When thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth. Matthew 6:3
He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD;
and that which he hath given will he pay him again. Proverbs 19:17
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a
stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I
was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord,
when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we
thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick,
or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I
say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye
have done it unto me. Matthew 25:35-40
He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse. Proverbs 28:27
He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he. Proverbs 14:21
But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also 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. 2nd Corinthians 9:6-7
