⁴² to him who is asking of thee be giving, and him who is willing to borrow from thee thou mayest not turn away.

⁷ each one, according as he doth purpose in heart, not out of sorrow or out of necessity, for a cheerful giver doth God love,

³⁰ `And to every one who is asking of thee, be giving; and from him who is taking away thy goods, be not asking again;

² whenever, therefore, thou mayest do kindness, thou mayest not sound a trumpet before thee as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues, and in the streets, that they may have glory from men; verily I say to you -- they have their reward!

³ `But thou, doing kindness, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doth,

⁴ that thy kindness may be in secret, and thy Father who is seeing in secret Himself shall reward thee manifestly.

⁵ `And when thou mayest pray, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites, because they love in the synagogues, and in the corners of the broad places -- standing -- to pray, that they may be seen of men; verily I say to you, that they have their reward.

⁴⁰ `And the king answering, shall say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did `it' to one of these my brethren -- the least -- to me ye did `it'.

¹³ If, then, ye, being evil, have known good gifts to be giving to your children, how much more shall the Father who is from heaven give the Holy Spirit to those asking Him!'

³⁸ `Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed, and shaken, and running over, they shall give into your bosom; for with that measure with which ye measure, it shall be measured to you again.'

⁹ Honour Jehovah from thy substance, And from the beginning of all thine increase;

¹⁰ And filled are thy barns `with' plenty, And `with' new wine thy presses break forth.

¹¹ Chastisement of Jehovah, my son, despise not, And be not vexed with His reproof,

¹⁵ and if a brother or sister may be naked, and may be destitute of the daily food,

¹⁶ and any one of you may say to them, `Depart ye in peace, be warmed, and be filled,' and may not give to them the things needful for the body, what `is' the profit?

¹⁷ so also the faith, if it may not have works, is dead by itself.

¹⁸ But say may some one, Thou hast faith, and I have works, shew me thy faith out of thy works, and I will shew thee out of my works my faith:

¹³ Whoso is shutting his ear from the cry of the poor, He also doth cry, and is not answered.

⁵ and if any of you do lack wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all liberally, and not reproaching, and it shall be given to him;

²⁵ A liberal soul is made fat, And whoso is watering, he also is watered.

⁵ Good `is' the man -- gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

²⁷ Withhold not good from its owners, When thy hand `is' toward God to do `it'.

¹⁰ and may He who is supplying seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness,

¹¹ in every thing being enriched to all liberality, which doth work through us thanksgiving to God,

²⁹ He is giving power to the weary, And to those not strong He increaseth might.

¹² for if the willing mind is present, according to that which any one may have it is well-accepted, not according to that which he hath not;

¹⁰ Bring in all the tithe unto the treasure-house, And there is food in My house; When ye have tried Me, now, with this, Said Jehovah of Hosts, Do not I open to you the windows of heaven? Yea, I have emptied on you a blessing till there is no space.

⁶ And this: He who is sowing sparingly, sparingly also shall reap; and he who is sowing in blessings, in blessings also shall reap;

⁷ each one, according as he doth purpose in heart, not out of sorrow or out of necessity, for a cheerful giver doth God love,

⁸ and God `is' able all grace to cause to abound to you, that in every thing always all sufficiency having, ye may abound to every good work,

⁹ (according as it hath been written, `He dispersed abroad, he gave to the poor, his righteousness doth remain to the age,')

¹⁰ and may He who is supplying seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness,

¹¹ in every thing being enriched to all liberality, which doth work through us thanksgiving to God,

¹² because the ministration of this service not only is supplying the wants of the saints, but is also abounding through many thanksgivings to God,

¹³ through the proof of this ministration glorifying God for the subjection of your confession to the good news of the Christ, and `for' the liberality of the fellowship to them and to all,

²⁴ There is who is scattering, and yet is increased, And who is keeping back from uprightness, only to want.

²⁵ A liberal soul is made fat, And whoso is watering, he also is watered.

²⁶ Whoso is withholding corn, the people execrate him, And a blessing `is' for the head of him who is selling.
