Giving

Luke:6:37-38 [37] Be not judges of others, and you will not be judged: do not give punishment to others, and you will not get punishment yourselves: make others free, and you will be made free: [38] Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, crushed down, full and running over, they will give to you. For in the same measure as you give, it will be given to you again.
See All...; Proverbs 22; 2 Corinthians:9:7Let every man do after the purpose of his heart; not giving with grief, or by force: for God takes pleasure in a ready giver.
See All...; Acts:20:35In all things I was an example to you of how, in your lives, you are to give help to the feeble, and keep in memory the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, There is a greater blessing in giving than in getting.
See All...; Luke:6:38Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, crushed down, full and running over, they will give to you. For in the same measure as you give, it will be given to you again.
See All...; 2 Corinthians:9:6But in the Writings it says, He who puts in only a small number of seeds, will get in the same; and he who puts them in from a full hand, will have produce in full measure from them.
See All...; Malachi:3:10Let your tenths come into the store-house so that there may be food in my house, and put me to the test by doing so, says the Lord of armies, and see if I do not make the windows of heaven open and send down such a blessing on you that there is no room for it.
See All...; John:3:16-17 [16] For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life. [17] God did not send his Son into the world to be judge of the world; he sent him so that the world might have salvation through him.
See All...; 2 Corinthians:8:1-9 [1] And now we give you news, brothers, about the grace of God which has been given to the churches of Macedonia; [2] How while they were undergoing every sort of trouble, and were in the greatest need, they took all the greater joy in being able to give freely to the needs of others. [3] For I give them witness, that as they were able, and even more than they were able, they gave from the impulse of their hearts, [4] Seriously requesting us that they might have a part in this grace of being servants to the needs of the saints: [5] And going even farther than our hope, they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us after the purpose of God. [6] So that we made a request to Titus that, as he had made a start before, so he might make this grace complete in you. [7] And that as you are full of every good thing, of faith, of the word, of knowledge, of a ready mind, and of love to us, so you may be full of this grace in the same way. [8] I am not giving you an order, but using the ready mind of others as a test of the quality of your love. [9] For you see the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, how though he had wealth, he became poor on your account, so that through his need you might have wealth.
See All...:15; Matthew:6:1-4 [1] Take care not to do your good works before men, to be seen by them; or you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. [2] When then you give money to the poor, do not make a noise about it, as the false-hearted men do in the Synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory from men. Truly, I say to you, They have their reward. [3] But when you give money, let not your left hand see what your right hand does: [4] So that your giving may be in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.
See All...; Galatians:6:6-10 [6] But let him who gets teaching in the word give a part in all good things to his teacher. [7] Be not tricked; God is not made sport of: for whatever seed a man puts in, that will he get back as grain. [8] Because he who puts in the seed of the flesh will of the flesh get the reward of death; but he who puts in the seed of the Spirit will of the Spirit get the reward of eternal life. [9] And let us not get tired of well-doing; for at the right time we will get in the grain, if we do not give way to weariness. [10] So then, as we have the chance, let us do good to all men, and specially to those who are of the family of the faith.
See All...; Proverbs:3:27Do not keep back good from those who have a right to it, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
See All...; Mark:12:41-44 [41] And he took a seat by the place where the money was kept, and saw how the people put money into the boxes: and a number who had wealth put in much. [42] And there came a poor widow, and she put in two little bits of money, which make a farthing. [43] And he made his disciples come to him, and said to them, Truly I say to you, This poor widow has put in more than all those who are putting money into the box: [44] Because they all put in something out of what they had no need for; but she out of her need put in all she had, even all her living.
See All...; Matthew:10:42And whoever gives to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he will not go without his reward.
See All...; Isaiah:1:1-31 [1] The vision of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw about Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. [2] Give ear, O heavens, and you, O earth, to the word which the Lord has said: I have taken care of my children till they became men, but their hearts have been turned away from me. [3] Even the ox has knowledge of its owner, and the ass of the place where its master puts its food: but Israel has no knowledge, my people give no thought to me. [4] O nation full of sin, a people weighted down with crime, a generation of evil-doers, false-hearted children: they have gone away from the Lord, they have no respect for the Holy One of Israel, their hearts are turned back from him. [5] Why will you have more and more punishment? why keep on in your evil ways? Every head is tired and every heart is feeble. [6] The body, from head to foot, is all diseased; it is a mass of open wounds, marks of blows, and broken flesh: the flow of blood has not been stopped, and no oil has been put on the wounds. [7] Your country has become waste; your towns are burned with fire; as for your land, it is overturned before your eyes, made waste and overcome by men from strange lands. [8] And the daughter of Zion has become like a tent in a vine-garden, like a watchman's house in a field of fruit, like a town shut in by armies. [9] If the Lord of armies had not kept some at least of us safe, we would have been like Sodom, and the fate of Gomorrah would have been ours. [10] Give ear to the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom; let your hearts be turned to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah. [11] What use to me is the number of the offerings which you give me? says the Lord; your burned offerings of sheep, and the best parts of fat cattle, are a weariness to me; I take no pleasure in the blood of oxen, or of lambs, or of he-goats. [12] At whose request do you come before me, making my house unclean with your feet? [13] Give me no more false offerings; the smoke of burning flesh is disgusting to me, so are your new moons and Sabbaths and your holy meetings. [14] Your new moons and your regular feasts are a grief to my soul: they are a weight in my spirit; I am crushed under them. [15] And when your hands are stretched out to me, my eyes will be turned away from you: even though you go on making prayers, I will not give ear: your hands are full of blood. [16] Be washed, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; let there be an end of sinning; [17] Take pleasure in well-doing; let your ways be upright, keep down the cruel, give a right decision for the child who has no father, see to the cause of the widow. [18] Come now, and let us have an argument together, says the Lord: how may your sins which are red like blood be white as snow? how may their dark purple seem like wool? [19] If you will give ear to my word and do it, the good things of the land will be yours; [20] But if your hearts are turned against me, I will send destruction on you by the sword; so the Lord has said. [21] The upright town has become untrue; there was a time when her judges gave right decisions, when righteousness had a resting-place in her, but now she is full of those who take men's lives. [22] Your silver is no longer true metal, your wine is mixed with water. [23] Your chiefs have gone against the Lord, they have become friends of thieves; every one of them is looking for profit and going after rewards; they do not give right decisions for the child who has no father, and they do not let the cause of the widow come before them. [24] For this reason the Lord, the Lord of armies, the Strong One of Israel, has said, I will put an end to my haters, and send punishment on those who are against me; [25] And my hand will again be on you, washing away what is unclean as with soap, and taking away all your false metal; [26] And I will give you judges again as at the first, and wise guides as in the past; then you will be named, The Town of Righteousness, the true town. [27] Upright acts will be the price of Zion's forgiveness, and by righteousness will men be living there. [28] But a common destruction will overtake sinners and evil-doers together, and those who have gone away from the Lord will be cut off. [29] For you will be put to shame because of the trees of your desire, and because of the gardens of your pleasure. [30] For you will be like a tree whose leaves have become dry, and like a garden without water. [31] And the strong will be as food for the fire, and his work as a flame; and they will be burned together, with no one to put out the fire.

See All...; Luke:6:1-49 [1] Now it came about that on the Sabbath he was going through the fields of grain, and his disciples took the heads of the grain for food, crushing them in their hands. [2] But some of the Pharisees said, Why do you do what it is not right to do on the Sabbath? [3] And Jesus said, Have you not seen in the Writings what David did when he was in need of food, he, and those who were with him; [4] How he went into the house of God and took for food the holy bread, which only the priests may take, and gave it to those who were with him? [5] And he said, The Son of man is lord even of the Sabbath. [6] And it came about, on another Sabbath, that he went into the Synagogue and was teaching there. And a man was there whose right hand was dead. [7] And the scribes and Pharisees were watching him to see if he would make him well on the Sabbath, so that they might be able to say something against him. [8] But he had knowledge of their thoughts; and he said to the man whose hand was dead, Get up and come into the middle. And he got up and came forward. [9] And Jesus said, I put the question to you, Is it right to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil? to give life or to take it away? [10] And looking round on all of them, he said to him, Put out your hand. And he did so: and his hand was made well. [11] But they were full of wrath, and were talking together about what they might do to Jesus. [12] And it came about in those days that he went out to the mountain for prayer; and he was all night in prayer to God. [13] And the day came and, turning to his disciples, he made a selection from among them of twelve, to whom he gave the name of Apostles; [14] Simon, to whom he gave the name of Peter, and Andrew, his brother, and James and John and Philip and Bartholomew [15] And Matthew and Thomas and James, the son of Alphaeus, and Simon, who was named the Zealot, [16] And Judas, the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, he who was false to him. [17] And he came down with them to a level place, and a great band of his disciples, and a very great number of people from all Judaea and Jerusalem and from the parts of Tyre and Sidon by the sea, came to give hearing to him, and to be made well from their diseases; [18] And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were made well. [19] And all the people were desiring to be touched by him, for power came from him and made them all well. [20] And turning his eyes to his disciples he said, Happy are you who are poor: for the kingdom of God is yours. [21] Happy are you who are in need of food now: for you will be made full. Happy are you who are weeping now; for you will be glad. [22] Happy are you, when men have hate for you, and put you away from among them and say angry words to you, turning away in disgust at your name, because of the Son of man. [23] Be glad in that day, and be lifted up for joy, for your reward in heaven will be great: for their fathers did these same things to the prophets. [24] But unhappy are you who have wealth: for you have been comforted now. [25] Unhappy are you who are full of food now: for you will be in need. Unhappy are you who are laughing now: for you will be crying in sorrow. [26] Unhappy are you when all men give you their approval: for so their fathers did to the false prophets. [27] But I say to you who give ear to me, Have love for those who are against you, do good to those who have hate for you, [28] Give blessing to those who give you curses, say prayers for those who are cruel to you. [29] If a man gives you a blow on one side of your face, then let the other side be turned to him; from him who takes away your coat, do not keep back your robe. [30] Give to everyone who comes with a request, and if a man takes away your property, make no attempt to get it back again. [31] Do to others as you would have them do to you. [32] If you have love for those who have love for you, what credit is it to you? for even sinners have love for those who have love for them. [33] And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is it to you? for even sinners do the same. [34] And if you let those have the use of your money, from whom you are hoping to get it back, what credit is it to you? even sinners do so to sinners, hoping to get back as much as they gave. [35] But be loving to those who are against you and do them good, and give them your money, not giving up hope, and your reward will be great and you will be the sons of the Most High: for he is kind to evil men, and to those who have hard hearts. [36] Be full of pity, even as your Father is full of pity. [37] Be not judges of others, and you will not be judged: do not give punishment to others, and you will not get punishment yourselves: make others free, and you will be made free: [38] Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, crushed down, full and running over, they will give to you. For in the same measure as you give, it will be given to you again. [39] And he gave them teaching in the form of a story, saying, Is it possible for one blind man to be guide to another? will they not go falling together into a hole? [40] The disciple is not greater than his master, but everyone whose learning is complete will be like his master. [41] And why do you take note of the grain of dust in your brother's eye, but take no note of the bit of wood which is in your eye? [42] How will you say to your brother, Brother, let me take the grain of dust out of your eye, when you yourself do not see the bit of wood in your eye? O false one! first take the wood out of your eye and then you will see clearly to take the dust out of your brother's eye. [43] For no good tree gives bad fruit, and no bad tree gives good fruit. [44] For every tree is judged by its fruit. Men do not get figs from thorns, or grapes from blackberry plants. [45] The good man, out of the good store of his heart, gives good things; and the evil man, out of his evil store, gives evil: for out of the full store of the heart come the words of the mouth. [46] Why do you say to me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? [47] Everyone who comes to me and gives ear to my words and does them, I will make clear to you what he is like: [48] He is like a man building a house, who went deep and put the base of it on a rock; and when the water came up and the river was driving against that house, it was not moved, because the building was good. [49] But he who gives hearing, without doing, is like a man building a house on the earth without a base for it; and when the force of the river came against it, straight away it came down; and the destruction of that house was great.
See All...; Psalm:50:1-23 [1] The God of gods, even the Lord, has sent out his voice, and the earth is full of fear; from the coming up of the sun to its going down. [2] From Zion, most beautiful of places, God has sent out his light. [3] Our God will come, and will not keep quiet; with fire burning before him, and storm-winds round him. [4] His voice will go out to the heavens and to the earth, for the judging of his people: [5] Let my saints come together to me; those who have made an agreement with me by offerings. [6] And let the heavens make clear his righteousness; for God himself is the judge. (Selah.) [7] Give ear, O my people, to my words; O Israel, I will be a witness against you; I am God, even your God. [8] I will not take up a cause against you because of your offerings, or because of your burned offerings, which are ever before me. [9] I will take no ox out of your house, or he-goats from your flocks; [10] For every beast of the woodland is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. [11] I see all the birds of the mountains, and the beasts of the field are mine. [12] If I had need of food, I would not give you word of it; for the earth is mine and all its wealth. [13] Am I to take the flesh of the ox for my food, or the blood of goats for my drink? [14] Make an offering of praise to God; keep the agreements which you have made with the Most High; [15] Let your voice come up to me in the day of trouble; I will be your saviour, so that you may give glory to me. [16] But to the sinner, God says, What are you doing, talking of my laws, or taking the words of my agreement in your mouth? [17] Seeing that you have no desire for my teaching, turning your back on my words. [18] When you saw a thief, you were in agreement with him, and you were joined with those who took other men's wives. [19] You have given your mouth to evil, your tongue to words of deceit. [20] You say evil of your brother; you make false statements against your mother's son. [21] These things have you done, and I said nothing; it seemed to you that I was such a one as yourself; but I will make a protest against you, and put them in order before your eyes. [22] Now keep this in mind, you who have no memory of God, for fear that you may be crushed under my hand, with no one to give you help: [23] Whoever makes an offering of praise gives glory to me; and to him who is upright in his ways I will make clear the salvation of God.
