Now in these days there came down prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be a great famine over all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius.And the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren that dwelt in Judæa:which also they did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

2 Corinthians 8 1-2 Corinthians 8 9
Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God which hath been given in the churches of Macedonia;how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.For according to their power, I bear witness, yea and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,beseeching us with much entreaty in regard of this grace and the fellowship in the ministering to the saints:and this, not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.Insomuch that we exhorted Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace also.But as ye abound in everything, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all earnestness, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might become rich.

Galatians 6:6-10
But let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.For he that soweth unto his own flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth unto the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap eternal life.And let us not be weary in well- doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.So then, as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, and especially toward them that are of the household of the faith.
