^8 (A)he who exhorts, in exhortation; ^(B)he who gives, with liberality; ^(C)he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, ^(D)with cheerfulness.

¹⁷ But ^(A)whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?

^14 (A)who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed ^(B)and purify for Himself ^(C)His own special people, zealous for good works.

¹⁸ Indeed I ^[a]have all and abound. I am full, having received from ^(A)Epaphroditus the things sent from you, ^(B)a sweet-smelling aroma, ^(C)an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God. ¹⁹ And my God ^(D)shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

²¹ “So is he who lays up treasure for himself, ^(A)and is not rich toward God.”

^10 (A)Therefore, as we have opportunity, ^(B)let us do good to all, ^(C)especially to those who are of the household of faith.

⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, ^(A)that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become ^(B)rich.
