Philippians 4:19
And my God will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
-
Philippians 4:11-12
I don’t say this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I find myself.I know how to make do with little, and I know how to make do with a lot. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being content— whether well fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need.

Matthew 15:5-6
But you say,‘ Whoever tells his father or mother,“ Whatever benefit you might have received from me is a gift committed to the temple,”he does not have to honor his father.’ In this way, you have nullified the word of God because of your tradition.
-
Matthew 6:31-34
So don’t worry, saying,‘ What will we eat?’ or‘ What will we drink?’ or‘ What will we wear?’For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you.Therefore don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

1 Thessalonians 2 6
and we didn’t seek glory from people, either from you or from others.
-
Matthew 10:8-10
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those with leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you received, freely give.Don’t acquire gold, silver, or copper for your money-belts.Don’t take a traveling bag for the road, or an extra shirt, sandals, or a staff, for the worker is worthy of his food.

Ezra 7:27
Blessed be the LORD, the God of our ancestors, who has put it into the king’s mind to glorify the house of the LORD in Jerusalem,

1 Timothy 5 3-1 Timothy 5 4
Support widows who are genuinely in need.But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn to practice godliness toward their own family first and to repay their parents, for this pleases God.
-
1 Timothy 5 17-1 Timothy 5 18
The elders who are good leaders are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.For the Scripture says: Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain, and,“ The worker is worthy of his wages.”

2 Corinthians 9 5-2 Corinthians 9 11
Therefore I considered it necessary to urge the brothers to go on ahead to you and arrange in advance the generous gift you promised, so that it will be ready as a gift and not as an extortion.The point is this: The person who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the person who sows generously will also reap generously.Each person should do as he has decided in his heart— not reluctantly or out of compulsion, since God loves a cheerful giver.And God is able to make every grace overflow to you, so that in every way, always having everything you need, you may excel in every good work.As it is written: He distributed freely; he gave to the poor; his righteousness endures forever.Now the one who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will also provide and multiply your seed and increase the harvest of your righteousness.You will be enriched in every way for all generosity, which produces thanksgiving to God through us.

2 Kings 8 9
Hazael went to meet Elisha, taking with him a gift: forty camel-loads of all the finest products of Damascus. When he came and stood before him, he said,“ Your son, King Ben-hadad of Aram, has sent me to ask you,‘ Will I recover from this sickness?’”
-
2 Corinthians 8 2-2 Corinthians 8 6
During a severe trial brought about by affliction, their abundant joy and their extreme poverty overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part.I can testify that, according to their ability and even beyond their ability, of their own accord,they begged us earnestly for the privilege of sharing in the ministry to the saints,and not just as we had hoped. Instead, they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us by God’s will.So we urged Titus that just as he had begun, so he should also complete among you this act of grace.
