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 person should give as he decides in his heart, not with sadness or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance so that you will always have everything you need to abound in every good work.
Now may he who provides seed to the sower, and bread for food, also multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness!
May you be enriched in every way to be generous on every occasion, and through us may your generosity produce thanksgiving to God!
For if the eager willingness is there, it is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have.
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be put into your lap. For with the same measure you use it will be measured to you in return."
Princípios de generosidade
Honra ao Senhor com as tuas primícias. Não negues o bem a quem o merece. A alma generosa prosperará.
O ensino de Jesus
Quando deres esmola, não toque a trombeta. A generosidade do coração importa mais que a grandeza do donativo.
So when yoʋ give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before yoʋ, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by others. Truly I say to you, they have received their reward.
But when yoʋ give to the needy, do not let yoʋr left hand know what yoʋr right hand is doing, so that yoʋr giving may be in secret. Then yoʋr Father who sees in secret will himself reward yoʋ openly.
Heal the sick, cleanse lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.
Jesus said to him, "If yoʋ wish to be perfect, go sell what yoʋ have and give to the poor, and yoʋ will have treasure in heaven; then come follow me."
Give to everyone who asks of yoʋ, and if anyone takes away yoʋr belongings, do not demand them back.
