Acts 20:35b
remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Deuteronomy 15:11bThou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land. Deuteronomy 15:10Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto. |
