Remember this— a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop.You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure.“ For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.”And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.

Then he added,“ Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen, the more understanding you will be given— and you will receive even more.

Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce.Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine.

For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged.

Give generously to the poor, not grudgingly, for the Lord your God will bless you in everything you do.

Blessed are those who are generous, because they feed the poor.

If you help the poor, you are lending to the Lord— and he will repay you!

The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.

Give to anyone who asks; and when things are taken away from you, don’t try to get them back.

Right now you have plenty and can help those who are in need. Later, they will have plenty and can share with you when you need it. In this way, things will be equal.As the Scriptures say,“ Those who gathered a lot had nothing left over, and those who gathered only a little had enough.”

Send your grain across the seas, and in time, profits will flow back to you.But divide your investments among many places, for you do not know what risks might lie ahead.

“ Look, my decree is written out in front of me: I will not stand silent; I will repay them in full! Yes, I will repay them—both for their own sins and for those of their ancestors,” says the Lord.“ For they also burned incense on the mountains and insulted me on the hills. I will pay them back in full!

O Lord, pay back our neighbors seven times for the scorn they have hurled at you.

There will be no mercy for those who have not shown mercy to others. But if you have been merciful, God will be merciful when he judges you.

And if you give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my followers, you will surely be rewarded.”

I don’t say this because I want a gift from you. Rather, I want you to receive a reward for your kindness.At the moment I have all I need— and more! I am generously supplied with the gifts you sent me with Epaphroditus. They are a sweet smelling sacrifice that is acceptable and pleasing to God.And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.

But when Esther came before the king, he issued a decree causing Haman’s evil plot to backfire, and Haman and his sons were impaled on a sharpened pole.

Then all his brothers, sisters, and former friends came and feasted with him in his home. And they consoled him and comforted him because of all the trials the Lord had brought against him. And each of them brought him a gift of money and a gold ring.

Adoni bezek said,“ I once had seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off, eating scraps from under my table. Now God has paid me back for what I did to them.” They took him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

To the faithful you show yourself faithful; to those with integrity you show integrity.To the pure you show yourself pure, but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.

“ If a malicious witness comes forward and accuses someone of a crime,then both the accuser and accused must appear before the Lord by coming to the priests and judges in office at that time.The judges must investigate the case thoroughly. If the accuser has brought false charges against his fellow Israelite,you must impose on the accuser the sentence he intended for the other person. In this way, you will purge such evil from among you.Then the rest of the people will hear about it and be afraid to do such an evil thing.You must show no pity for the guilty! Your rule should be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

Oh, the joys of those who are kind to the poor! The Lord rescues them when they are in trouble.The Lord protects them and keeps them alive. He gives them prosperity in the land and rescues them from their enemies.

So they impaled Haman on the pole he had set up for Mordecai, and the king’s anger subsided.

“ Have I refused to help the poor, or crushed the hopes of widows?Have I been stingy with my food and refused to share it with orphans?No, from childhood I have cared for orphans like a father, and all my life I have cared for widows.Whenever I saw the homeless without clothes and the needy with nothing to wear,did they not praise me for providing wool clothing to keep them warm?

Praise the Lord, the God of our ancestors, who made the king want to beautify the Temple of the Lord in Jerusalem!And praise him for demonstrating such unfailing love to me by honoring me before the king, his council, and all his mighty nobles! I felt encouraged because the gracious hand of the Lord my God was on me. And I gathered some of the leaders of Israel to return with me to Jerusalem.

And I heard the angel who had authority over all water saying,“ You are just, O Holy One, who is and who always was, because you have sent these judgments.Since they shed the blood of your holy people and your prophets, you have given them blood to drink. It is their just reward.”
