In all things I was an example to you of how, in your lives, you are to give help to the feeble, and keep in memory the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, There is a greater blessing in giving than in getting.

He who has the power of comforting, let him do so; he who gives, let him give freely; he who has the power of ruling, let him do it with a serious mind; he who has mercy on others, let it be with joy.

So it seemed to me wise for the brothers to go before, and see that the amount which you had undertaken to give was ready, so that it might be a cause for praise, and not as if we were making profit out of you.

And to do good, having wealth in good works, being quick to give, taking part with one another;

If anyone has anything to say, let it be as the words of God; if anyone has the desire to be the servant of others, let him do it in the strength which is given by God; so that in all things God may have the glory through Jesus Christ, whose are the glory and the power for ever.

Because

Happy is the man who gives thought to the poor; the Lord will be his saviour in the time of trouble.

A man may give freely, and still his wealth will be increased; and another may keep back more than is right, but only comes to be in need.

He who is kind will have a blessing, for he gives of his bread to the poor.

But the noble-hearted man has noble purposes, and by these he will be guided.

And if you give your bread to those in need of it, so that the troubled one may have his desire; then you will have light in the dark, and your night will be as the full light of the sun:

And God is able to give you all grace in full measure; so that ever having enough of all things, you may be full of every good work:

I have all things and more than enough: I am made full, having had from Epaphroditus the things which came from you, a perfume of a sweet smell, an offering well pleasing to God.

But go on doing good and giving to others, because God is well-pleased with such offerings.
