Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.

Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’”

1 Corinthians 16:2 | First-Fruits Giving

On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come.

But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world.
