⁴² Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

⁷ `Let' each man `do' according as he hath purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

³⁰ Give to every one that asketh thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.

² When therefore thou doest alms, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.

³ But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

⁴ that thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee.

⁵ And when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.

⁴⁰ And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, `even' these least, ye did it unto me.

¹³ If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall `your' heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

³⁸ give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall they give into your bosom. For with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again.

⁹ Honor Jehovah with thy substance, And with the first-fruits of all thine increase:

¹⁰ So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, And thy vats shall overflow with new wine.

¹¹ My son, despise not the chastening of Jehovah; Neither be weary of his reproof:

¹⁵ If a brother or sister be naked and in lack of daily food,

¹⁶ and one of you say unto them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; and yet ye give them not the things needful to the body; what doth it profit?

¹⁷ Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself.

¹⁸ Yea, a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith apart from `thy' works, and I by my works will show thee `my' faith.

¹³ Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, He also shall cry, but shall not be heard.

⁵ But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

²⁵ The liberal soul shall be made fat; And he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

⁵ Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth; He shall maintain his cause in judgment.

²⁷ Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, When it is in the power of thy hand to do it.

¹⁰ And he that supplieth seed to the sower and bread for food, shall supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness:

¹¹ ye being enriched in everything unto all liberality, which worketh through us thanksgiving to God.

²⁹ He giveth power to the faint; and to him that hath no might he increaseth strength.

¹² For if the readiness is there, `it is' acceptable according as `a man' hath, not according as `he' hath not.

¹⁰ Bring ye the whole tithe into the store-house, that there may be food in my house, and prove me now herewith, saith Jehovah of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough `to receive it'.

⁶ But this `I say,' He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

⁷ `Let' each man `do' according as he hath purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

⁸ And God is able to make all grace abound unto you; that ye, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work:

⁹ as it is written, He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the poor; His righteousness abideth for ever.

¹⁰ And he that supplieth seed to the sower and bread for food, shall supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness:

¹¹ ye being enriched in everything unto all liberality, which worketh through us thanksgiving to God.

¹² For the ministration of this service not only filleth up the measure of the wants of the saints, but aboundeth also through many thanksgivings unto God;

¹³ seeing that through the proving `of you' by this ministration they glorify God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of `your' contribution unto them and unto all;

²⁴ There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more; And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but `it tendeth' only to want.

²⁵ The liberal soul shall be made fat; And he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

²⁶ He that withholdeth grain, the people shall curse him; But blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
