But give from your heart to those in need, and then everything will be clean for you.

只要把里面的施舍给人，凡物于你们就都洁净了。

只要把杯盘里面的施舍给人，对你们来说一切就都洁净了。

只要把杯盘里面的施舍给人，对你们来说一切就都洁净了。

只要你们发自内心地去施舍，一切对你们都是洁净的。

只要把里面的施舍出去，你们的一切就都洁净了。

不过你们当把里面的施舍给人，看哪，对你们来说一切就都洁净了。

只要把裏面的施捨給人，凡物於你們就都潔淨了。

只要把杯盤裏面的施捨給人，對你們來說一切就都潔淨了。

只要把杯盤裏面的施捨給人，對你們來說一切就都潔淨了。

只要你們發自內心地去施捨，一切對你們都是潔淨的。

只要把裡面的施捨出去，你們的一切就都潔淨了。

其實你們只要把裏邊的施捨給人，那麼一切對你們就都潔淨了。

不過你們當把裡面的施捨給人，看哪，對你們來說一切就都潔淨了。

惟以在內者施濟、則於爾無不潔矣、○

爾自以為吾取盤中之物、以分人、則無不潔矣、

惟盡力施濟、或作取盛於杯盤者以施於人則於爾無不潔矣、

第能心存慈善、施人以德、則物之於爾、無不潔矣。

But now as for what is inside you— be generous to the poor, and everything will be clean for you.

Give freely to poor people to show what is inside you. Then everything will be clean for you.

But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you.

So clean the inside by giving gifts to the poor, and you will be clean all over.

But give from what is within to the poor, and then everything is clean for you.

But give that which is within as a charitable gift, and then all things are clean for you.

But rather give alms of such things as you have; then indeed all things are clean to you.

But give for alms those things which are within; and behold, all things are clean unto you.

But give from what is within to the poor, and then everything is clean for you.

But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.

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

Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves purses that do not wear out– a treasure in heaven that never decreases, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

And do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for God is pleased with such sacrifices.

And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by how you use worldly wealth, so that when it runs out you will be welcomed into the eternal homes.

Pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their misfortune and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

All is pure to those who are pure. But to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their minds and consciences are corrupted.

The one who oppresses the poor insults his Creator, but whoever shows favor to the needy honors him.

Therefore, O king, may my advice be pleasing to you. Break away from your sins by doing what is right, and from your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor. Perhaps your prosperity will be prolonged.”

But as you excel in everything– in faith, in speech, in knowledge, and in all eagerness and in the love from us that is in you– make sure that you excel in this act of kindness too.I am not saying this as a command, but I am testing the genuineness of your love by comparison with the eagerness of others.For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that although he was rich, he became poor for your sakes, so that you by his poverty could become rich.

The one who is gracious to the poor lends to the LORD, and the LORD will repay him for his good deed.

I want you to share your food with the hungry and to provide shelter for homeless, oppressed people. When you see someone naked, clothe him! Don’t turn your back on your own flesh and blood!Then your light will shine like the sunrise; your restoration will quickly arrive; your godly behavior will go before you, and the LORD’s splendor will be your rear guard.Then you will call out, and the LORD will respond; you will cry out, and he will reply,‘ Here I am.’ You must remove the burdensome yoke from among you and stop pointing fingers and speaking sinfully.You must actively help the hungry and feed the oppressed. Then your light will dispel the darkness, and your darkness will be transformed into noonday.The LORD will continually lead you; he will feed you even in parched regions. He will give you renewed strength, and you will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring that continually produces water.

The voice spoke to him again, a second time,“ What God has made clean, you must not consider ritually unclean!”

How blessed is the one who treats the poor properly! When trouble comes, the LORD delivers him.

For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love you have demonstrated for his name, in having served and continuing to serve the saints.

Give to the one who asks you, and do not reject the one who wants to borrow from you.

When Jesus heard this, he said to him,“ One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

For if the eagerness is present, the gift itself is acceptable according to whatever one has, not according to what he does not have.

Now in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha( which in translation means Dorcas). She was continually doing good deeds and acts of charity.At that time she became sick and died. When they had washed her body, they placed it in an upstairs room.Because Lydda was near Joppa, when the disciples heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him and urged him,“ Come to us without delay.”So Peter got up and went with them, and when he arrived they brought him to the upper room. All the widows stood beside him, crying and showing him the tunics and other clothing Dorcas used to make while she was with them.

“ Be careful not to display your righteousness merely to be seen by people. Otherwise you have no reward with your Father in heaven.Thus whenever you do charitable giving, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in synagogues and on streets so that people will praise them. I tell you the truth, they have their reward.But when you do your giving, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,so that your gift may be in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.

He said also to the man who had invited him,“ When you host a dinner or a banquet, don’t invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors so you can be invited by them in return and get repaid.But when you host an elaborate meal, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind.Then you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

Then the king will say to those on his right,‘ Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’Then the righteous will answer him,‘ Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or naked and clothe you?When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’And the king will answer them,‘ I tell you the truth, just as you did it for one of the least of these brothers or sisters of mine, you did it for me.’

He generously gives to the needy; his integrity endures. He will be vindicated and honored.

My point is this: The person who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the person who sows generously will also reap generously.Each one of you should give just as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, because God loves a cheerful giver.And God is able to make all grace overflow to you so that because you have enough of everything in every way at all times, you will overflow in every good work.Just as it is written,“ He has scattered widely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness remains forever.”Now God who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will provide and multiply your supply of seed and will cause the harvest of your righteousness to grow.You will be enriched in every way so that you may be generous on every occasion, which is producing through us thanksgiving to God,because the service of this ministry is not only providing for the needs of the saints but is also overflowing with many thanks to God.Through the evidence of this service they will glorify God because of your obedience to your confession in the gospel of Christ and the generosity of your sharing with them and with everyone.And in their prayers on your behalf they long for you because of the extraordinary grace God has shown to you.Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

But Zacchaeus stopped and said to the Lord,“ Look, Lord, half of my possessions I now give to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone of anything, I am paying back four times as much!”

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but does not have works? Can this kind of faith save him?If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacks daily food,and one of you says to them,“ Go in peace, keep warm and eat well,” but you do not give them what the body needs, what good is it?

Send your grain overseas, for after many days you will get a return.Divide your merchandise among seven or even eight investments, for you do not know what calamity may happen on earth.

Instead, you must be sure to open your hand to him and generously lend him whatever he needs.Be careful lest you entertain the wicked thought that the seventh year, the year of cancellation of debts, has almost arrived, and your attitude be wrong toward your impoverished fellow Israelite and you do not lend him anything; he will cry out to the LORD against you and you will be regarded as having sinned.You must by all means lend to him and not be upset by doing it, for because of this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you attempt.

Moreover, this will become my deliverance, for no godless person would come before him.Listen carefully to my words; let your ears be attentive to my explanation.See now, I have prepared my case; I know that I am right.Who will contend with me? If anyone can, I will be silent and die.Only in two things spare me, O God, and then I will not hide from your face:

So the disciples, each in accordance with his financial ability, decided to send relief to the brothers living in Judea.

After several years I came to bring to my people gifts for the poor and to present offerings,

The one who steals must steal no longer; rather he must labor, doing good with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with the one who has need.

and said,‘ Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your acts of charity have been remembered before God.Therefore send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter. This man is staying as a guest in the house of Simon the tanner, by the sea.’

For every creation of God is good and no food is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.For it is sanctified by God’s word and by prayer.

For you will always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me!

I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean in itself; still, it is unclean to the one who considers it unclean.For if your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy by your food someone for whom Christ died.Therefore do not let what you consider good be spoken of as evil.For the kingdom of God does not consist of food and drink, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.For the one who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by people.
