Thematic Bible: Liberality in the early church


Thematic Bible



Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren who dwelt in Judea:

Neither was there any among them 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 down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.

For even in Thessalonica you sent once and again unto my necessity.
