//  You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
//  "God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them."
//  ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
//  This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.
-35  //  that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales 35 and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.
//  …the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”
-25  //  One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.
(MSG)  //  The world of the generous gets larger and larger; the world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller.
-19  //  Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 18 Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. 19 In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.

Living so my life outlives me.
Giving to something that will outlive me.
2 Corinthians 9:-6-11  //  Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 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. 8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written: “They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever.” 10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
