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。』」
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。
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。」
約翰一書 3:17
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?
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？
馬太福音 6:21
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
因為你的財寶在那裡，你的心也在那裡。」
馬太福音 10:42
And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward."
無論何人，因為門徒的名，只把一杯涼水給這小子裡的一個喝，我實在告訴你們，這人不能不得賞賜。」
使徒行傳 2:45
They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.
並且賣了田產，家業，照各人所需用的分給各人。
路加福音 21:1
- 4
As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury.
He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins.
"Truly I tell you," he said, "this poor widow has put in more than all the others.
All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on."
耶穌抬頭觀看，見財主把捐項投在庫裡，
又見一個窮寡婦投了兩個小錢，
就說：「我實在告訴你們，這窮寡婦所投的比眾人還多；
因為眾人都是自己有餘，拿出來投在捐項裡，但這寡婦是自己不足，把他一切養生的都投上了。」
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。
箴言 21:13
Whoever shuts their ears to the cry of the poor will also cry out and not be answered.
塞耳不聽窮人哀求的，他將來呼籲也不蒙應允。
提摩太前書 6:17
- 19
Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.
In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.
你要囑咐那些今世富足的人，不要自高，也不要倚靠無定的錢財；只要倚靠那厚賜百物給我們享受的神。
又要囑咐他們行善，在好事上富足，甘心施捨，樂意供給（或作：體貼）人，
為自己積成美好的根基，預備將來，叫他們持定那真正的生命。
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）。」
哥林多後書 9:6
Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.
「少種的少收，多種的多收」，這話是真的。
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。
申命記 15:7
- 8
If anyone is poor among your fellow Israelites in any of the towns of the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tightfisted toward them.
Rather, be openhanded and freely lend them whatever they need.
「在耶和華你神所賜你的地上，無論哪一座城裡，你弟兄中若有一個窮人，你不可忍著心、揝著手不幫補你窮乏的弟兄。
總要向他鬆開手，照他所缺乏的借給他，補他的不足。
箴言 19:17
Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done.
憐憫貧窮的，就是借給耶和華；他的善行，耶和華必償還。
馬可福音 12:41
- 44
Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts.
But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.
Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others.
They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything-all she had to live on."
耶穌對銀庫坐著，看眾人怎樣投錢入庫。有好些財主往裡投了若干的錢。
有一個窮寡婦來，往裡投了兩個小錢，就是一個大錢。
耶穌叫門徒來，說：「我實在告訴你們，這窮寡婦投入庫裡的，比眾人所投的更多。
因為，他們都是自己有餘，拿出來投在裡頭；但這寡婦是自己不足，把他一切養生的都投上了。」
馬太福音 25:21
"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'
主人說：『好，你這又良善又忠心的僕人，你在不多的事上有忠心，我要把許多事派你管理；可以進來享受你主人的快樂。』
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。
使徒行傳 4:32
- 35
All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.
With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God's grace was so powerfully at work in them all
that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales
and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.
那許多信的人都是一心一意的，沒有一人說他的東西有一樣是自己的，都是大家公用。
使徒大有能力，見證主耶穌復活；眾人也都蒙大恩。
內中也沒有一個缺乏的，因為人人將田產房屋都賣了，把所賣的價銀拿來，放在使徒腳前，
照各人所需用的，分給各人。
哥林多後書 8:1
- 5
And now, brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches.
In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity.
For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own,
they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the Lord's people.
And they exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord, and then by the will of God also to us.
弟兄們，我把神賜給馬其頓眾教會的恩告訴你們，
就是他們在患難中受大試煉的時候，仍有滿足的快樂，在極窮之間還格外顯出他們樂捐的厚恩。
我可以證明，他們是按著力量，而且也過了力量，自己甘心樂意的捐助，
再三的求我們，准他們在這供給聖徒的恩情上有分；
並且他們所做的，不但照我們所想望的，更照神的旨意先把自己獻給主，又歸附了我們。
提摩太前書 6:18
- 19
Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.
In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.
又要囑咐他們行善，在好事上富足，甘心施捨，樂意供給（或作：體貼）人，
為自己積成美好的根基，預備將來，叫他們持定那真正的生命。
歷代志上 29:14
"But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.
「我算什麼，我的民算什麼，竟能如此樂意奉獻？因為萬物都從你而來，我們把從你而得的獻給你。
馬太福音 6:33
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
你們要先求他的國和他的義，這些東西都要加給你們了。
馬太福音 7:12
So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
所以，無論何事，你們願意人怎樣待你們，你們也要怎樣待人，因為這就是律法和先知的道理。」
路加福音 10:30
- 37
In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead.
A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.
So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him.
He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him.
The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.'
"Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?"
The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him." Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."
耶穌回答說：「有一個人從耶路撒冷下耶利哥去，落在強盜手中。他們剝去他的衣裳，把他打個半死，就丟下他走了。
偶然有一個祭司從這條路下來，看見他就從那邊過去了。
又有一個利未人來到這地方，看見他，也照樣從那邊過去了。
惟有一個撒瑪利亞人行路來到那裡，看見他就動了慈心，
上前用油和酒倒在他的傷處，包裹好了，扶他騎上自己的牲口，帶到店裡去照應他。
第二天拿出二錢銀子來，交給店主，說：『你且照應他；此外所費用的，我回來必還你。』
你想，這三個人那一個是落在強盜手中的鄰舍呢？」
他說：「是憐憫他的。」耶穌說：「你去照樣行吧。」
約翰福音 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
「神愛世人，甚至將他的獨生子賜給他們，叫一切信他的，不至滅亡，反得永生。
