箴言 11:24
- 25
One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.
A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.
有施散的,卻更增添;有吝惜過度的,反致窮乏。
好施捨的,必得豐裕;滋潤人的,必得滋潤。
瑪拉基書 3:10
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the Lord Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.
萬軍之耶和華說:你們要將當納的十分之一全然送入倉庫,使我家有糧,以此試試我,是否為你們敞開天上的窗戶,傾福與你們,甚至無處可容。
箴言 3:27
- 28
Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.
Do not say to your neighbor, "Come back tomorrow and I'll give it to you"- when you already have it with you.
你手若有行善的力量,不可推辭,就當向那應得的人施行。
你那裡若有現成的,不可對鄰舍說:去吧,明天再來,我必給你。
馬太福音 6:1
- 4
"Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
"So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
「你們要小心,不可將善事行在人的面前,故意叫他們看見,若是這樣,就不能得你們天父的賞賜了。
所以,你施捨的時候,不可在你前面吹號,像那假冒為善的人在會堂裡和街道上所行的,故意要得人的榮耀。我實在告訴你們,他們已經得了他們的賞賜。
你施捨的時候,不要叫左手知道右手所做的,
要叫你施捨的事行在暗中。你父在暗中察看,必然報答你(有古卷:必在明處報答你)。」
馬太福音 19:21
Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
耶穌說:「你若願意作完全人,可去變賣你所有的,分給窮人,就必有財寶在天上;你還要來跟從我。」
路加福音 6:38
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
你們要給人,就必有給你們的,並且用十足的升斗,連搖帶按,上尖下流的倒在你們懷裡;因為你們用什麼量器量給人,也必用什麼量器量給你們。」
使徒行傳 20:35
In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.' "
我凡事給你們作榜樣,叫你們知道應當這樣勞苦,扶助軟弱的人,又當記念主耶穌的話,說:『施比受更為有福。』」
哥林多後書 9:7
Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
各人要隨本心所酌定的,不要作難,不要勉強,因為捐得樂意的人是神所喜愛的。
約翰一書 3:17

凡有世上財物的,看見弟兄窮乏,卻塞住憐恤的心,愛神的心怎能存在他裡面呢?
哥林多後書 9:6

If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be that person?
Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
凡有世上財物的,看見弟兄窮乏,卻塞住憐恤的心,愛神的心怎能存在他裡面呢?
小子們哪,我們相愛,不要只在言語和舌頭上,總要在行為和誠實上。
使徒行傳 3:2
Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts.

馬太福音 6:16
- 18
"When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face,
so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
「你們禁食的時候,不可像那假冒為善的人,臉上帶著愁容;因為他們把臉弄得難看,故意叫人看出他們是禁食。我實在告訴你們,他們已經得了他們的賞賜。
你禁食的時候,要梳頭洗臉,
不叫人看出你禁食來,只叫你暗中的父看見;你父在暗中察看,必然報答你。」
路加福音 12:33
Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.
你們要變賣所有的賙濟人,為自己預備永不壞的錢囊,用不盡的財寶在天上,就是賊不能近、蟲不能蛀的地方。
哥林多後書 9:5
- 7
So I thought it necessary to urge the brothers to visit you in advance and finish the arrangements for the generous gift you had promised. Then it will be ready as a generous gift, not as one grudgingly given.
Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.
Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
因此,我想不得不求那幾位弟兄先到你們那裡去,把從前所應許的捐貲預備妥當,就顯出你們所捐的是出於樂意,不是出於勉強。
「少種的少收,多種的多收」,這話是真的。
各人要隨本心所酌定的,不要作難,不要勉強,因為捐得樂意的人是神所喜愛的。
希伯來書 6:10
God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.
因為神並非不公義,竟忘記你們所做的工和你們為他名所顯的愛心,就是先前伺候聖徒,如今還是伺候。
