  do what I say? Everyone who comes to Me, and
  hears My words, and acts upon them, I will show
  you whom he is like he is like a man building a
  house, who dug deep and laid a foundation upon
  the rock and when a flood rose, the torrent
  burst against that house and could not shake it,
  because it had been well built.

  the ground without any foundation and the
  torrent burst against it and immediately it
  collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great.

  to them, "Truly I say to you, this poor widow put
  in more than all the contributors to the
  treasury for they all put in out of their
  surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all
  she owned, all she had to live on." (Mark

2 Corinthians 96-11, NAS

• Now this I say, he who sows sparingly shall also
  reap sparingly and he who sows bountifully shall
  also reap bountifully. Let each one do just as he
  has purposed in his heart not grudgingly or
  under compulsion for God loves a cheerful giver.
  And God is able to make all grace abound to you,
  that always having all sufficiency in everything,
  you may have an abundance for every good deed

2 Corinthians 96-11, NAS

• as it is written, "He scattered abroad, He gave
  to the poor, His righteousness abides forever."
  Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread
  for food, will supply and multiply your seed for
  sowing and increase the harvest of your
  righteousness you will be enriched in everything
  for all liberality, which through us is producing
  thanksgiving to God.
