how in a severe ordeal of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their generosity.
Philippians 4:15
You yourselves also know, you Philippians, that in the beginning of the Good News, when I departed from Macedonia, no assembly shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you only.
1 Thessalonians 1:6
You became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,
1 Thessalonians 2:14
For you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews

But we don’t want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you don’t grieve like the rest, who have no hope.

Hebrews 7:1
For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
Hebrews 7:2
to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, “king of righteousness”, and then also “king of Salem”, which means “king of peace”,
Hebrews 7:3
without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually.
Hebrews 7:4
Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth out of the best plunder.
Hebrews 7:5
They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest’s office have a commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,
Hebrews 7:6
but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
Hebrews 7:7
But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
Hebrews 7:8
Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.
Hebrews 7:9
We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,
Hebrews 7:10
for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.
