Giving

Giving 

Deuteronomy 15:10  


Give generously to him and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to.


Deuteronomy 16:17  


Each of you must bring a gift in proportion to the way the LORD your God has blessed you.
The people rejoiced at the willing response of their leaders, for they had given freely and wholeheartedly to the LORD. David the king also rejoiced greatly.


Proverbs 3:9-10  


9 Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops;


10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.


Proverbs 11:24-25 


24 One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.


25 A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.


Proverbs 21:26  


All day long he craves for more, but the righteous give without sparing.


Proverbs 22:9  


A generous man will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor.


Malachi 3:10  


Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.


Matthew 6:3-4  


3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 


4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.


Mark 12:41-44  


41 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. 


42 But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny.


43 Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. 


44 They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”
