Judging Others

37 ^l, ^m“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; ⁿforgive, and you will be forgiven; 38 ^ogive, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put ^pinto your lap. For ^qwith the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”

Acts 20:35

35 In all things ^rI have shown you that ^sby working hard in this way we must ^thelp the weak and ^uremember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed ^vto give than to receive.’”

2 Corinthians 8:1-2

Encouragement to Give Generously

1 We want you to know, brothers, ^{▼▼Or brothers and sisters} about the grace of God that has been ^xgiven among the churches of Macedonia, 2 for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and ^ytheir extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part.

2 Corinthians 9:6-11

The Cheerful Giver

6 The point is this: ^zwhoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully ^{▼▼Greek with blessings; twice in this verse} will also reap bountifully. 7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, ^abnot reluctantly or under compulsion, for ^acGod loves a cheerful giver. 8 And ^adGod is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency ^{▼▼Or all contentment} in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. 9 As it is written,

^af“He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever.”
10 He who supplies ^agseed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and ^ahincrease the harvest of your righteousness. 11 ^aiYou will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which ^ajthrough us will produce thanksgiving to God.

1 Timothy 6:18-19

18 They are to do good, ^akto be rich in good works, to be generous and ^already to share, 19 thus ^amstoring up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may ^antake hold of ^aothat which is truly life.
