Asking for Money

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

Each one should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not out of regret or compulsion. For God loves a cheerful giver.

But remember that it is the LORD your God who gives you the power to gain wealth, in order to confirm His covenant that He swore to your fathers even to this day.

For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.

Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your crops;

Instruct those who are rich in the present age not to be conceited and not to put their hope in the uncertainty of wealth, but in God, who richly provides all things for us to enjoy. …

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things, at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

By this we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. …

He does not engage in usury or take excess interest, but he withholds his hand from iniquity and executes true justice between men.

He follows My statutes and faithfully keeps My ordinances. That man is righteous; surely he will live, declares the Lord GOD.

On the first day of every week, each of you should set aside a portion of his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will be needed.
