Luke 12:17

Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed.

casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.

My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.

Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this:

What was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

and has not wronged any, but has restored to the debtor his pledge, has taken nothing by robbery, has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;

Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

Walk in love, even as Christ also loved us and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

hasn’t wronged any, hasn’t taken anything to pledge, hasn’t taken by robbery, but has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;

but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal;

and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

That which fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.

If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.

The overseer therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching;

Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it.

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood—

You shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the fruits from the old store until the ninth year. Until its fruits come in, you shall eat the old store.

Please let’s make a little room on the roof. Let’s set a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp stand for him there. When he comes to us, he can stay there.”

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

for as he thinks about the cost, so he is. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.

and if you pour out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will rise in darkness, and your obscurity will be as the noonday;

who say, ‘Stay by yourself, don’t come near to me, for I am holier than you.’ These are smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all day.

for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in.

He called the multitude to himself with his disciples, and said to them, “Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

The multitudes asked him, “What then must we do?”

If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much.

Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”

He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.

No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You aren’t able to serve God and Mammon.”

But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.

But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were determined to kill them.

But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice with you all.

In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

Even so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you, not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us.

To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.

For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

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.

Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, and break off your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor. Perhaps there may be a lengthening of your tranquility.”

“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t serve both God and Mammon.

“Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’

Jesus looking at him loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross.”

The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!

but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”

He said to them, “When I sent you out without purse, wallet, and sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”

A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”

I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ The Lord said to me, ‘Arise, and go into Damascus. There you will be told about all things which are appointed for you to do.’

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

It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the service to the saints,

For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for lack among the saints, but abounds also through much giving of thanks to God,

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.

Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, “I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.”

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

You shall eat old supplies long kept, and you shall move out the old because of the new.

Give a portion to seven, yes, even to eight; for you don’t know what evil will be on the earth.

Isn’t it to distribute your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house? When you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh?

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

He answered them, “He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise.”

Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.”

Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

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

He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.

Don’t seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.

Sell that which you have, and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth destroys.

“The manager said within himself, ‘What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I don’t have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.

I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents.

He wouldn’t for a while, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God, nor respect man,

When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”

“He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’

Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

brought them out, and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

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

Charge those who are rich in this present world that they not be arrogant, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy;

By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

Don’t think to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father,’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
