But remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth.

A gift opens the way and ushers the giver into the presence of the great.

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
