38 Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you."
Bible verses about "charity" | Common
Luke 6:38
Matthew 5:42
42 Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.
1 Corinthians 13:1-13
1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3 If I give all I have to the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous or boastful, it is not arrogant
5 or rude, it does not seek its own, it is not provoked, it keeps no record of wrongs,
6 it does not rejoice in evil, but rejoices with the truth.
7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails; but where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part;
10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.
12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know fullyeven as I have been fully known.
13 So now faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
Hebrews 13:2

33 Sell your possessions, and give alms; provide yourselves purses that do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

1 He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury,
2 and he also saw a poor widow put in two copper coins.

4 for these all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had to live on."
2 Corinthians 9:7
7 Each one must give just as he has purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
1 John 3:17
17 But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?
Matthew 6:1-4
1 "Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2 "Thus, when you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.
3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4 so that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
Hebrews 13:16
16 Do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
Acts 20:35
35 In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"
