⁴² Give to him who asks you, and don't turn away him who desires to borrow from you.

⁷ Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver.

³⁰ Give to everyone who asks you, and don't ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.

² Therefore when you do merciful deeds, don't sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from men. Most assuredly I tell you, they have received their reward.

³ But when you do merciful deeds, don't let your left hand know what your right hand does,

⁴ so that your merciful deeds may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

⁵ "When you pray, you 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 by men. Most assuredly, I tell you, they have received their reward.

⁴⁰ "The King will answer them, 'Most assuredly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers{The word for "brothers" here may be also correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."}, you did it to me.'

¹³ If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?"

³⁸ "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be given to you.{literally, into your bosom.} For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you."

⁹ Honor Yahweh with your substance, With the first fruits of all your increase:

¹⁰ So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.

¹¹ My son, don't despise Yahweh's discipline, Neither be weary of his reproof:

¹⁵ And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food,

¹⁶ and one of you tells them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled;" and yet you didn't give them the things the body needs, what good is it?

¹⁷ Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.

¹⁸ Yes, a man will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith.

¹³ Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, He will also cry out, but shall not be heard.

⁵ But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him.

²⁵ The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself.

⁵ It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.

²⁷ Don't withhold good from those to whom it is due, When it is in the power of your hand to do it.

¹⁰ Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;

¹¹ you being enriched in everything to all liberality, which works through us thanksgiving to God.

²⁹ He gives power to the faint; and to him who has no might he increases strength.

¹² For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don't have.

¹⁰ Bring the whole tithe into the store-house, that there may be food in my house, and test me now in this," says Yahweh 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 for.

⁶ Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

⁷ Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver.

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

⁹ As it is written, "He has scattered abroad, he has given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever."

¹⁰ Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;

¹¹ you being enriched in everything to all liberality, which works through us thanksgiving to God.

¹² For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for lack among the saints, but abounds also through many givings of thanks to God;

¹³ seeing that through the proof given by this service, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the Gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of your contribution to them and to all;

²⁴ There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.

²⁵ The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself.

²⁶ People curse someone who withholds grain, But blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.
