but you shall open your hand to him and lend him sufficient for his need, whatever it may be.

By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him?Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

The rich and the poor meet together; the Lord is the maker of them all.

Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common.And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.There was not a needy person among them, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was soldand laid it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need.

And one of them named Agabus stood up and foretold by the Spirit that there would be a great famine over all the world( this took place in the days of Claudius).So the disciples determined, everyone according to his ability, to send relief to the brothers living in Judea.And they did so, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.

And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need.
