• Deuteronomy 14:28-29
    "At the end of every third year you shall bring out the tithe of your produce of that year and store it up within your gates. And the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow who are within your gates, may come and eat and be satisfied, that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.
     
  • Deuteronomy 26:12-15
    “When you have finished laying aside all the tithe of your increase in the third year—the year of tithing—and have given it to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, so that they may eat within your gates and be filled, then you shall say before the LORD your God: ‘I have removed the holy tithe from my house, and also have given them to the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, according to all Your commandments which You have commanded me; I have not transgressed Your commandments, nor have I forgotten them. I have not eaten any of it when in mourning, nor have I removed any of it for an unclean use, nor given any of it for the dead. I have obeyed the voice of the LORD my God, and have done according to all that You have commanded me. Look down from Your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless Your people Israel and the land which You have given us, just as You swore to our fathers, “a land flowing with milk and honey.”’
     
  • Leviticus 19:9-10
    ‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. And you shall not glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather every grape of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and the stranger: I am the LORD your God.
     
  • Leviticus 27:30-33
    And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD's. It is holy to the LORD. If a man wants at all to redeem any of his tithes, he shall add one-fifth to it. And concerning the tithe of the herd or the flock, of whatever passes under the rod, the tenth one shall be holy to the LORD. He shall not inquire whether it is good or bad, nor shall he exchange it; and if he exchanges it at all, then both it and the one exchanged for it shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.""
     
  • Numbers 18:21-24
    “Behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tithes in Israel as an inheritance in return for the work which they perform, the work of the tabernacle of meeting. Hereafter the children of Israel shall not come near the tabernacle of meeting, lest they bear sin and die. But the Levites shall perform the work of the tabernacle of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity; it shall be a statute forever, throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance. For the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer up as a heave offering to the LORD, I have given to the Levites as an inheritance; therefore I have said to them, ‘Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.’”

  • Proverbs 3:9-10
    Honor the LORD with your possessions,
    And with the firstfruits of all your increase;
    So your barns will be filled with plenty,
    And your vats will overflow with new wine.

     
  • Proverbs 3:27-28
    Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
    When it is in the power of your hand to do so.
    Do not say to your neighbor,
    “ Go, and come back,
    And tomorrow I will give it,”
    When you have it with you.

     
  • Proverbs 11:24-28
    There is one who scatters, yet increases more;
    And there is one who withholds more than is right,
    But it leads to poverty.
    The generous soul will be made rich,
    And he who waters will also be watered himself.
    The people will curse him who withholds grain,
    But blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.
    He who earnestly seeks good finds favor,
    But trouble will come to him who seeks evil.
    He who trusts in his riches will fall,
    But the righteous will flourish like foliage.

     
  • Isaiah 1:23-25
    Your princes are rebellious,
    And companions of thieves;
    Everyone loves bribes,
    And follows after rewards.
    They do not defend the fatherless,
    Nor does the cause of the widow come before them.
    Therefore the Lord says,
    The LORD of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel,
    “ Ah, I will rid Myself of My adversaries,
    And take vengeance on My enemies.
    I will turn My hand against you,
    And thoroughly purge away your dross,
    And take away all your alloy.

     
  • Isaiah 58:7
    Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,

    When you see the naked, that you cover him,
    And not hide yourself from your own flesh?

     
  • Jeremiah 5:28-29
    They have grown fat, they are sleek;
    Yes, they surpass the deeds of the wicked;
    They do not plead the cause,
    The cause of the fatherless;
    Yet they prosper,
    And the right of the needy they do not defend.
    Shall I not punish them for these things?' says the LORD.
    'Shall I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?'

     
  • Jeremiah 7:3-7
    Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: “Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. Do not trust in these lying words, saying, "The temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD are these." "For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if you thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbor, if you do not oppress the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, or walk after other gods to your hurt, then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.

    Against adulterers,
    Against perjurers,
    Against those who exploit wage earners and widows and orphans,
    And against those who turn away an alien'
    Because they do not fear Me,'
    Says the LORD of hosts.

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
     
  • Matthew 10:29-31
    Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father's will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
     
  • Matthew 25:35-40
    for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me." "Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, "Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?" And the King will answer and say to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me."

They desired only that we should remember the poor, the very thing which I also was eager to do.

  • Galatians 6:7-10
    Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
