Giving

In response to God's grace:

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.
— 2 Corinthians 8:9

To support the gospel ministry we benefit from:

If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you? If others have this right of support from you, shouldn't we have it all the more?
— 1 Corinthians 9:11–12

To partner in gospel ministry across the world:

Dear friend, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers and sisters, even though they are strangers to you. It was for the sake of the Name that they went out, receiving no help from the pagans. We ought therefore to show hospitality to such people so that we may work together for the truth.
— 3 John 5, 7–8

To ease the suffering of Christians elsewhere:

'Then the righteous will answer him, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you ill or in prison and go to visit you?" The King will reply, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."
— Matthew 25:37, 39–40

To show that God alone is our master:

No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.
— Matthew 6:24

Joyfully:

We want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches. In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity.
— 2 Corinthians 8:1–2

Thoughtfully:

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
— 2 Corinthians 9:7

Sacrificially:

Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put … Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few pence. … Jesus said, 'Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything — all she had to live on."
— Mark 12:41–44

Privately:

Be careful not to practise your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. … But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret.
— Matthew 6:1, 3–4
