| “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” “For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.” So “honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: so shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.” “The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.” “But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.” “There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.” “Remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.” |
