Proverbs 19:17

17 aWhoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord,
and he bwill repay him for his cdeed.

Matthew 10:40-42

Rewards

40 d“Whoever receives you receives me, and ewhoever receives me receives him who sent me. 41 fThe one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. 42And gwhoever gives one of hthese little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”

Matthew 25:34-40

34Then ithe King will say to jthose on his right, ‘Come, you kwho are blessed by my Father, linherit mthe kingdom nprepared for you ofrom the foundation of the world. 35For pI was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you qgave me drink, rI was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 sI was naked and you clothed me, tI was sick and you uvisited me, vI was in prison and you came to me.’ 37Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40And wthe King will answer them, x‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these ymy brothers, ▼
▼Or  brothers and sisters
 you did it to me.’

Luke 14:12-14

The Parable of the Great Banquet

12He said also to the man who had invited him, “When you give aaa dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers ▼
▼Or  your brothers and sisters. The plural Greek word adelphoi (translated “brothers”) refers to siblings in a family. In New Testament usage, depending on the context, adelphoi may refer either to brothers or to brothers and sisters
 or your relatives or rich neighbors, aclest they also invite you in return and you be repaid. 13But when you give a feast, adinvite aethe poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, 14and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid afat agthe resurrection of the just.”

Hebrews 6:10

10For ahGod is not unjust so as to overlook aiyour work and the love that you have shown for his name in ajserving the saints, as you still do.
