Now lets get started. Passage Number 1. The first verse on
the subject of Charity is First Corinthians chapter 13, verses 1 through 13. It says:
If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don’t have love,
I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy,
and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains,
but don’t have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my goods to feed the poor,
and if I give my body to be burned, but don’t have love, it profits me nothing.
Love is patient and is kind. Love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, doesn’t behave
itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn’t
rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, and endures all things. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies,
they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease.
Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with. For we know in part and we prophesy in part;
but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I
have become a man, I have put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but
then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.
But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.
Passage Number 2. The second verse in our study of Charity is found in Matthew chapter 6,
verses 1 through 4. It says: “Be careful that you don’t do your charitable
giving before men, to be seen by them, or else you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
Therefore, when you do merciful deeds, don’t sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in
the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from men. Most certainly I tell you,
they have received their reward. But when you do merciful deeds, don’t let your left hand know what
your right hand does, so that your merciful deeds may be in secret, then your Father who
sees in secret will reward you openly. Passage Number 3. For our third verse,
we turn in our Bible to Deuteronomy chapter 15, verses 7 through 11. It reads:
If a poor man, one of your brothers, is with you within any of your gates in your land which Yahweh
your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother;
but you shall surely open your hand to him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need,
which he lacks. Beware that there not be a wicked thought in your heart,
saying, “The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand,” and your eye be evil against your
poor brother and you give him nothing; and he cry to Yahweh against you, and it be sin to you.
You shall surely give, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him, because it is for
this thing Yahweh your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you put your hand to.
For the poor will never cease out of the land. Therefore I command you to surely
open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor, in your land.
Passage Number 4. This is from Second Corinthians chapter 9, verses 6 through 8. The scripture says:
Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also
reap bountifully. Let each man give according as he has determined 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 you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work.
Passage Number 5. The fifth verse is from Proverbs chapter 19, verse 17. The Bible says:
He who has pity on the poor lends to Yahweh; he will reward him.

Passage Number 6 is from First John chapter 3, verses 16 through 19. It says:
By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our
lives for the brothers. But whoever has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need,
then closes his heart of compassion against him, how does God’s love remain in him?
My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.
And by this we know that we are of the truth and persuade our hearts before him, .
Passage Number 7. The seventh verse is found in Isaiah chapter 58,
verses 6 through 11. The Bible says: “Isn’t this the fast that I have chosen:
to release the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free,
and that you break every yoke? Isn’t it to distribute your bread to the hungry,
and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house?
When you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh?
Then your light will break out as the morning, and your healing will appear
quickly; then your righteousness shall go before you, and Yahweh’s glory will be your rear guard.
Then you will call, and Yahweh will answer. You will cry for help, and he will say,
‘Here I am.’ “If you take away from among you the yoke, finger pointing, and speaking wickedly;
and if you pour out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul,
then your light will rise in darkness, and your obscurity will be as the noonday; and
Yahweh will guide you continually, satisfy your soul in dry places, and make your bones strong.
You will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters don’t fail.
Passage Number 8. The eighth verse on the subject of Charity is from Psalm chapter 41,
verses 1 through 4. It reads: For the Chief Musician.
A Psalm by David. Blessed is he who considers the poor. Yahweh will deliver him in the day
of evil. Yahweh will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth,
and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies. Yahweh will sustain him on his sickbed,
and restore him from his bed of illness. I said, “Yahweh, have mercy on me!
Heal me, for I have sinned against you.” Passage Number 9. Our ninth verse is from
First Timothy chapter 1, verses 3 through 5. The passage states:
As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain
men not to teach a different doctrine, and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies,
which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith.
But the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith, .
Passage Number 10. Our tenth and final verse on the subject of Charity
is from Luke chapter 12, verse 33. It says: Sell what you have and give gifts to the needy.
Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where
no thief approaches and no moth destroys. This concludes our Bible study on the topic of Charity.
