Thematic Bible: Liberality in the early church


Thematic Bible



And in the proportion that any of the disciples had means, each of them determined to send a contribution for the relief of the brethren living in Judea.

For there was not a needy person among them, for all who were owners of land or houses would sell them and bring the proceeds of the sales and lay them at the apostles' feet, and they would be distributed to each as any had need.

that in a great ordeal of affliction their abundance of joy and their deep poverty overflowed in the wealth of their liberality.

for even in Thessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs.
