Honor the Lord with your capital and sufficiency [from righteous labors] and with the firstfruits of all your income; [Deut. 26:2; Mal. 3:10; Luke 14:13, 14.]
So shall your storage places be filled with plenty, and your vats shall be overflowing with new wine. [Deut. 28:8.]

The liberal person shall be enriched, and he who waters shall himself be watered. [II Cor. 9:6-10.]
He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, and that which he has given He will repay to him. [Prov. 28:27; Eccl. 11:1; Matt. 10:42; 25:40; II Cor. 9:6-8; Heb. 6:10.]
