12 Then He also said to him who invited Him, "When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. 13 "But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind. 14 "And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just."
To give is more blessed than to receive (act 20:35). God is able to make all grace abound toward us, that we, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have abundance for every good work. This is also the main focus of God’s law "You shall love your neighbor as yourself".
To give is not expected to be repaid. The man does charitable deeds before men, be seen by them, the man has his reward from men. We should support the weak to gain a treasure in the heaven that does not fail, to gain the praise of God.
1Ti 6:18 Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share,
1Ti 6:19 storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
