One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.

One person gives freely but gets even richer. Another person doesn’t give what they should but gets even poorer.

One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.

Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything.

One person gives freely, yet gains more; another withholds what is right, only to become poor.

There is one who scatters, and yet increases all the more, And there is one who withholds what is justly due, and yet it results only in poverty.

There is one who scatters, yet increases more; And there is one who withholds more than is right, But it leads to poverty.

There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more; And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want.

One person gives freely, yet gains more; another withholds what is right, only to become poor.

人恩待貧弱者，就是借予耶和華；耶和華將照著他所行的償還給他。

他施捨、給予貧窮人，他的公義將存留到永遠，他的角將在榮耀中被高舉。

你們要給與，就會被賜予，而且用十足的量器，連搖帶按、滿滿當當地倒在你們懷裡，因為，你們用什麼量器來衡量，也會同樣地被衡量。」

惡人賺得虛妄的報償，播種公義的，得真實的賞報。

所以，我認為必須鼓勵這些弟兄先到你們那裡去，把你們已經許諾的惠贈提前安排好，這樣就表明你們所預備好的就是惠贈，而不是被強取的。又有這話：播撒吝嗇的人，也收穫吝嗇；播撒祝福的人，也收穫祝福。每個人要照著心裡預先定好的，不要為難，也不要勉強，因為神喜愛那樂意給與的人。神能使一切的恩典豐豐富富地臨到你們，使你們總是在一切事上都能知足，在一切美善的工作上充實滿溢。正如經上所記：「他施捨，賜予窮人；他的義行永遠常存。」供應種子給撒種的，又供應糧食給人吃的那一位，將要供給並增加你們的種子，而且增多你們義行的果子，使你們在一切事上都得以富足，以致十分慷慨，就藉著我們生出對神的感謝之心。

清晨你當撒種；到傍晚也不要歇手；因為你不知道哪一樣能發旺——是前者呢，還是後者呢，或是兩者同樣好？

你當把糧食撒在水面，因為日久你必得回。你當把你的份分給七人，甚至八人，因為你不知道將會有什麼禍患臨到地上。

用高息厚利使自己財物增多的，是為恩待貧弱者的人積蓄。

於是門徒們決定，每個人照著自己的能力來捐獻，好送到住在猶太的弟兄們那裡。他們就這麼做了，由巴拿巴和掃羅經手，把所捐獻的送到長老們那裡。
