Dar
Dar é princípio do Reino de Deus. Jesus deu tudo — até a própria vida. A Bíblia nos ensina que é mais bem-aventurado dar do que receber, e que Deus ama ao que dá com alegria.
Dar com alegria
Deus ama ao que dá com alegria. Dai e dar-se-vos-á. O generoso prospera e quem abençoa será abençoado.
Each one should give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or from compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
And God is able to cause all grace to abound to you, so that in everything at all times, because you have enough of everything, you may overflow in every good work.
Now the one who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will provide and multiply your seed, and will cause the harvest of your righteousness to grow,
being made rich in every way for all generosity, which is producing through us thanksgiving to God,
For if the eagerness is present according to what one has, it is acceptable not according to what one does not have.
Give, and it will be given to you, a good measure—pressed down, shaken, overflowing—they will pour out into your lap. For with the measure by which you measure out, it will be measured out to you in return."

O ensino de Jesus
Quando deres esmola, não toque a trombeta. A generosidade do coração importa mais que a grandeza do donativo.
Therefore whenever you practice charitable giving, do not sound a trumpet in front of you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, in order that they may be praised by people. Truly I say to you, they have received their reward in full!
But you, when you practice charitable giving, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, in order that your charitable giving may be in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
Heal those who are sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, expel demons. Freely you have received; freely give.
Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give the proceeds to the poor—and you will have treasure in heaven—and come, follow me."
Give to everyone who asks you, and from the one who takes away your things, do not ask for them back.
Take pleasure in Yahweh as well,
and he will give to you the requests of your heart.
The wicked borrows and does not repay,
but the righteous is gracious and gives.

And if I parcel out all my possessions, and if I hand over my body in order that I will be burned, but do not have love, it benefits me nothing.
