Israel.”

18. Reciprocity in Scripture
Isaiah 49.6
! He says, “But that’s not a big enough job for my servant
—

! ! merely to round up the strays of Israel.
! I’m setting you up as a light for the nations
! ! so that my salvation becomes global!”

21. Reciprocity in Scripture
Romans 15.26-27
The Greeks—all the way from the Macedonians in the
north to the Achaians in the south—decided they wanted to
take up a collection for the poor among the believers in
Jerusalem. They were happy to do this, but it was also their
duty. Seeing that they got in on all the spiritual gifts that
flowed out of the Jerusalem community so generously, it is
only right that they do what they can to relieve their poverty.

22. Reciprocity in Scripture
1Corinthians 9.9-11
Moses wrote, “Don’t muzzle an ox to keep it from eating the
grain when it’s threshing.” Do you think Moses’ primary
concern was the care of farm animals? Don’t you think his
concern extends to us? Of course. Farmers plow and
thresh expecting something when the crop comes in. So if
we have planted spiritual seed among you, is it out of line
to expect a meal or two from you?

23. Reciprocity in Scripture
Galatians 6.6
Be very sure now, you who have been trained to a self-
sufficient maturity, that you enter into a generous common
life with those who have trained you, sharing all the good
things that you have and experience.

24. Reciprocity in Scripture
Galatians 6.7-8
Don’t be misled: No one makes a fool of God. What a
person plants, he will harvest. The person who plants
selfishness, ignoring the needs of others—ignoring God!—
harvests a crop of weeds. All he’ll have to show for his life
is weeds! But the one who plants in response to God,
letting God’s Spirit do the growth work in him, harvests a
crop of real life, eternal life.

25. Reciprocity in Scripture
Galatians 6.9
So let’s not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At
the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don’t give
up, or quit.
