To one he gave five talents; to another, two; to a third, one -to each according to his ability. (Matthew 25:15)
The community of believers was of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they had everything in common..... There was no needy person among them, for those who owned property or houses would sell them, bring the proceeds of the sale, and put them at the feet of the apostles, and they were distributed to each according to need. (Acts 4:32-35)
All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their property and possessions and divide them among all according to each one's need. (Acts 2:44-45)
Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to (the) poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." (Matthew 19:21)
"Now, this is what the LORD has commanded. So gather it that everyone has enough to eat, an omer for each person, as many of you as there are, each man providing for those of his own tent." The Israelites did so. Some gathered a large and some a small amount. But when they measured it out by the omer, he who had gathered a large amount did not have too much, and he who had gathered a small amount did not have too little. They so gathered that everyone had enough to eat. (Exodus 16:16-18)
The thief must no longer steal, but rather labor, doing honest work with his (own) hands, so that he may have something to share with one in need. (Ephesians 4:28)
But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. (Luke 6:24)
