Generosidade
A generosidade é marca do caráter de Deus e vocação do cristão. Deus ama ao que dá com alegria. Quem semeia generosamente, generosamente colherá.
Dar com alegria
Deus ama ao que dá com alegria. Cada um contribua segundo propôs no coração — não com tristeza ou por necessidade.
Every man according as he purposes in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God-The Father loves a cheerful giver.
But this [I say], He which sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which sows bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
Every man according as he purposes in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God-The Father loves a cheerful giver.
And God-The Father [is] able to make all grace abound toward you; that you2f, always having all sufficiency in all [things], may abound to every good work:
(As it is written, He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor: his righteousness remains forever.
Now he that ministers seed to the sower both minister bread for [your] food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causes through us thanksgiving to God-The Father.
For the administration of this service not only supplies the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God-The Father;
Now he that ministers seed to the sower both minister bread for [your] food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causes through us thanksgiving to God-The Father.
For if there be first a willing mind, [it is] accepted according to that a man has, [and] not according to that he has not.
Partilhar e abençoar
Quem dá aos pobres empresta ao Senhor. A generosidade abre portas de bênção sobre quem dá e sobre quem recebe.
The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that waters shall be watered also himself.
There is that scatters, and yet increases; and [there is] that withholds more than is meet, but [it tends] to poverty.
The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that waters shall be watered also himself.
Honour the LORD-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] with youi substance, and with the firstfruits of all youi increase:
So shall youi barns be filled with plenty, and youi presses shall burst out with new wine.
Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of youri hand to do [it].
Whoso stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
Bring you2f all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in my house, and prove me now with this, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that [there shall] not [be room] enough [to receive it].
For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command youi, saying, youi shall open youi hand wide unto youi brother, to youi poor, and to youi needy, in youi land.
O ensino de Jesus
Dai e dar-se-vos-á. A quem te pedir, dá. O que fizestes a um destes mais pequeninos, a mim o fizestes.
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you2f measure (deal out) withal it shall be measured to you again.
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you2f measure (deal out) withal it shall be measured to you again.
Give to every man that asks of youi; and of him that takes away youri goods ask [them] not again.
If you2f then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit [Ruach] to them that ask him?
"To him who asks from you give and from him who wishes to borrow from you do not hold back".
Again Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to them: "When you do charitable deeds do not wish to make a proclamation or blow trumpets before you as the hypocrites, who do their charitable deeds in the market places and in the streets in order that men might see them. Truly I say to you, they have received their reward already".
"But when you do charitable deeds, let not your left hand know what your right hand is doing",
"in order that your gift might be in secret and your Father Who sees hidden things will reward you".
"The King will answer and say to them: ‘Truly I say to you that every time you did it to one of the needy of these my brethren, even the little ones like these, you did it to me’".
Generosidade de Deus
Se Deus dá sabedoria generosamente a quem pede, quanto mais nos dará Ele forças e suprimento em toda necessidade?
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God-The Father, that gives to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be [you2f] warmed and filled; notwithstanding you2f give them not those things which are needful to the body; what [does it] profit?
Even so faith, if it has not works, is dead, being alone.
He gives power to the faint; and to [them that have] no might he increases strength.
A good man shows favour, and lends: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
