freely give. Do not take along any gold or silver or copper in
your belts. (Matthew, 10:7-9)

... Much grace was upon them all [believers]. There were no
needy persons among them. For from time to time those who
owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from
the sales and bring the money to the apostles, and it was dis-
tributed to anyone as he had need. (Acts, 4:33-35)

The believers were together and had everything in common.
Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as
he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the
temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate togeth-
er with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the

favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number
daily those who were being saved [who attained guidance].
(Acts, 2:44-47)

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content
with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave
you; never will I forsake you." (Hebrews, 13:6)

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where
moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth
and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and
steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
(Matthew, 6:19-21)

But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled,
the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they
cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the
righteous. (Luke, 14:13-14)
