1 Seven Men are Chosen to Help the ApostlesIn those days, as the number of the disciples was growing larger and larger, a complaint was made by the Hellenistic Jews against the Hebraic Jews that their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution of food.
2 So the Twelve called the whole group of disciples together and said, “It is not desirable for us to neglect messages from God in order to wait on tables.
3 Therefore, brothers, appoint seven men among you who have a good reputation, who are full of the Spirit and wisdom, and we’ll put them in charge of this work.

2 Corinthians 9:6-15
6 Remember this: The person who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the person who sows generously will also reap generously.
7 Each of you must give what you have decided in your heart, not with regret or under compulsion, since God loves a cheerful giver.
8 Besides, God is able to make every blessing of yours overflow for you, so that in every situation you will always have all you need for any good work.
9 As it is written, “He scatters everywhere and gives to the poor; his righteousness lasts forever.”
10 Now he who supplies seed to the farmer and bread to eat will also supply you with seed and multiply it and enlarge the harvest that results from your righteousness.
11 In every way you will grow richer and become even more generous, and this will cause others to give thanks to God because of us,
12 since this ministry you render is not only fully supplying the needs of the saints, it is also overflowing with more and more prayers of thanksgiving to God.
13 Because your service in giving proves your love, you will be glorifying God as you obey what your confession of the Messiah’s gospel demands, since you are generous in sharing with them and with everyone else.
14 And so in their prayers for you they will long for you because of God’s exceptional grace that was shown to you.
15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
1 John 3:16-18
16 This is how we have come to know love: the Messiah gave his life for us. We, too, ought to give our lives for our brothers.
17 Whoever has earthly possessions and notices a brother in need and yet withholds his compassion from him, how can the love of God be present in him?
18 Little children, we must stop expressing love merely by our words and manner of speech; we must love also in action and in truth.
