What the Bible has to say about Stewardship
(1 Corinthians 16:1-2 KJV)
(1) Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to
the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. (2) Upon the first {day} of the
week let every one of you lay by him in store, as {God} hath prospered
him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
(2 Corinthians 9:6-8 KJV)
(6) But this {I say}, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly;
and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. (7) Every man
according as he purposeth in his heart, {so let him give}; not grudgingly,
or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. (8) And God {is} able to
make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency
in all {things}, may abound to every good work:
(Colossians 3:23-24 KJV)
(23) And whatsoever ye do, do {it} heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto
men; (24) Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the
inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
(Matthew 6:20-21 KJV)
(20) But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor
rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: (21)
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
(Luke 6:38 KJV)

shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For
with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you
again.

health, even as thy soul prospereth.

these things shall be added unto you.

shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. (3) Blessed {shalt} thou

{shall be} the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the
fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy
sheep. (5) Blessed {shall be} thy basket and thy store. (6) Blessed
{shalt} thou {be} when thou comest in, and blessed {shalt} thou {be} when
thou goest out. (7) The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up
against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against
thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. (8) The Lord shall command
the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest
thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy
God giveth thee. (11) And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in
the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of
thy ground, in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers to give
thee. (12) The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to
give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of
thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not
borrow.
(Malachi 3:8-12 KJV)
(8) Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we
robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. (9) Ye {are} cursed with a curse:
for ye have robbed me, {even} this whole nation. (10) Bring ye all the
tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and
prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the
windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that {there shall} not {be
room} enough {to receive it}. (11) And I will rebuke the devourer for your
sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall
your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of
hosts. (12) And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a
delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts.

himself.

sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in
the world to come eternal life.
