Thematic Bible: Liberality in the early church


Thematic Bible



And each of the disciples, according to his ability, determined to send help to the brethren living in Judea;

For no one among them was needy; for those who possessed lands or houses sold and brought the prices of the things sold, and laid them at the apostles' feet; and distribution was made to each as any one had need.

that in much trying affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their liberality.

for even in Thessalonica and once and again you sent to my need.
