And with great power gave the apostles their witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.For neither was there among them any that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,and laid them at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto each, according as any one had need.

If I have withheld the poor from their desire, Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,Or have eaten my morsel alone, And the fatherless hath not eaten thereof( Nay, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, And her have I guided from my mother’s womb);If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, Or that the needy had no covering;If his loins have not blessed me, And if he hath not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God which hath been given in the churches of Macedonia;how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.For according to their power, I bear witness, yea and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,beseeching us with much entreaty in regard of this grace and the fellowship in the ministering to the saints:and this, not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.Insomuch that we exhorted Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace also.But as ye abound in everything, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all earnestness, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might become rich.

but thou shalt surely open thy hand unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need in that which he wanteth.Beware that there be not a base thought in thy heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou give him nought; and he cry unto Jehovah against thee, and it be sin unto thee.Thou shalt surely give him, and thy heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him; because that for this thing Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all thy work, and in all that thou puttest thy hand unto.For the poor will never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt surely open thy hand unto thy brother, to thy needy, and to thy poor, in thy land.

I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.I will set no base thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; It shall not cleave unto me.A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will know no evil thing.Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy: Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: He that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me.He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land; To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.

Cast thy bread upon the waters; for thou shalt find it after many days.Give a portion to seven, yea, even unto eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.

using hospitality one to another without murmuring:according as each hath received a gift, ministering it among yourselves, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God;if any man speaketh, speaking as it were oracles of God; if any man ministereth, ministering as of the strength which God supplieth: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, whose is the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
