Galatians 2:10

Don’t love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him.

“When you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have received their reward.

For the poor will never cease out of the land. Therefore I command you to surely open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor, in your land.

He who despises his neighbor sins, but he who has pity on the poor is blessed.

But I have all things and abound. I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, a sweet-smelling fragrance, an acceptable and well-pleasing sacrifice to God.

If a man says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn’t love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

contributing to the needs of the saints; given to hospitality.

You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,

He who has pity on the poor lends to Yahweh; he will reward him.

Many men claim to be men of unfailing love, but who can find a faithful man?

The righteous care about justice for the poor. The wicked aren’t concerned about knowledge.

“Moreover when you fast, don’t be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.

For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; but you will not always have me.

Now after these things had ended, Paul determined in the Spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome.”

Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;

and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:

So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.

Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, producing with his hands something that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.

that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,

Her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today? Where have you worked? Blessed be he who noticed you.” She told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, “The man’s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.”

Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared, for today is holy to our Lord. Don’t be grieved, for the joy of Yahweh is your strength.”

They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil. In the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

Give to him who asks you, and don’t turn away him who desires to borrow from you.

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.”

teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

“But woe to you who are rich! For you have received your consolation.

But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.

The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.”

In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

that I may be delivered from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,

Because of this I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every assembly.

Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I commanded the assemblies of Galatia, you do likewise.

I give a judgment in this: for this is expedient for you who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.

that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to share;

that the fellowship of your faith may become effective in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in Christ Jesus.

For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the labor of love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.

“You shall not wrong an alien or oppress him, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

But the eyes of the wicked will fail. They will have no way to flee. Their hope will be the giving up of the spirit.”

Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.

The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back, but the righteous give generously.

A man’s steps are established by Yahweh. He delights in his way.

All day long he deals graciously, and lends. His offspring is blessed.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. O God, you will not despise a broken and contrite heart.

It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.

He has dispersed, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor.

He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for his Maker, but he who is kind to the needy honors him.

offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim free will offerings and brag about them: for this pleases you, you children of Israel,” says the Lord Yahweh.

Yahweh of Armies says: “The fasts of the fourth, fifth, seventh, and tenth months shall be for the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts. Therefore love truth and peace.”

For you always have the poor with you; but you don’t always have me.

Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.

But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’

I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.

Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;

Now I beg you, brothers—you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to serve the saints—

So we urged Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace.

hearing of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all the saints,

For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.

But don’t forget to be doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

But you have dishonored the poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts?

Because you kept my command to endure, I also will keep you from the hour of testing which is to come on the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.

“If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,

Blessed is he who considers the poor. Yahweh will deliver him in the day of evil.

Therefore when you do merciful deeds, don’t sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from men. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.

Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.

For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus said to him, “Buy what things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.

As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;

But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.

begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints.
