In the morning sow your seed, and at evening do not let your hand rest, because you don’t know which will succeed, whether one or the other, or if both of them will be equally good.

Kindness to the poor is a loan to the LORD, and he will give a reward to the lender.

And whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is a disciple, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.”

For God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you demonstrated for his name by serving the saints— and by continuing to serve them.

You will be happy as you sow seed beside abundant water, and as you let oxen and donkeys range freely.

Happy is one who is considerate of the poor; the LORD will save him in a day of adversity.The LORD will keep him and preserve him; he will be blessed in the land. You will not give him over to the desire of his enemies.

And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

The point is this: The person who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the person who sows generously will also reap generously.

because the one who sows to his flesh will reap destruction from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.Let us not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up.Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us work for the good of all, especially for those who belong to the household of faith.

“ If there is a poor person among you, one of your brothers within any of your city gates in the land the LORD your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tightfisted toward your poor brother.Instead, you are to open your hand to him and freely loan him enough for whatever need he has.Be careful that there isn’t this wicked thought in your heart,‘ The seventh year, the year of canceling debts, is near,’ and you are stingy toward your poor brother and give him nothing. He will cry out to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty.Give to him, and don’t have a stingy heart when you give, and because of this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you do.For there will never cease to be poor people in the land; that is why I am commanding you,‘ Open your hand willingly to your poor and needy brother in your land.’

One person gives freely, yet gains more; another withholds what is right, only to become poor.A generous person will be enriched, and the one who gives a drink of water will receive water.

and if the household is worthy, let your peace be on it; but if it is unworthy, let your peace return to you.

Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.Though one goes along weeping, carrying the bag of seed, he will surely come back with shouts of joy, carrying his sheaves.

The wicked person earns an empty wage, but the one who sows righteousness, a true reward.

A generous person will be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor.

But a noble person plans noble things; he stands up for noble causes.

“ And the King will answer them,‘ Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
