Apostolic Constitutions, on Acts 20:35

“I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring you ought to support the weak, and to remember the word of the Lord Jesus, how he said: It is a more blessed thing to give, rather than to receive.”

“Since even the Lord said: "The giver was happier than the receiver.". He that forbade stealing, now pronounces him most happy who supplies those that are in want out of his own labours.”
