ACTS
4:34, 35
34
For neither was there among
them any that lacked: for as many
as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the
things that were sold, 35 and laid them at the apostles' feet: and distribution
was made unto each, according as any one had need.
ACTS
11:27 - 30
27
Now in these days there came down prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch. 28 And
there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there
should be a great famine over all the world: which came to pass in the days of
Claudius. 29 And the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined
to send relief unto the
brethren that dwelt in Judea: 30
which also they did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

Corinthians 16:1-4
1
Now concerning the collection
for the saints, as I gave order to
the churches of Galatia, so also do ye. 2 Upon the first day of the week, let
each one of you lay by him in store, as he may prosper, that no collections be
made when I come. 3 And when I arrive, whomsoever ye shall approve, them will I
send with letters to carry your bounty unto Jerusalem: 4 and if it be meet for
me to go also, they shall go with me.

Timothy 5:16
16
If any woman that believeth hath widows, let her relieve them, and let not the church be burdened; that it may
relieve them that are widows indeed.
