Whoso

“If there is a poor man with you, one of your brothers, in any of your towns in your land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart, nor close your hand from your poor brother;

One who is gracious to a poor man lends to the Lord,
And He will repay him for his

good deed.

“Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry
And bring the homeless poor into the house;
When you see the naked, to cover him;
And not to hide yourself from your own flesh?

And he would answer and say to them, “The man who has two tunics is to share with him who has none; and he who has food is to do likewise.”

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.

So I thought it necessary to urge the brethren that they would go on ahead to you and arrange beforehand your previously promised

bountiful gift, so that the same would be ready as a

bountiful gift and not

affected by covetousness.

Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy.

And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

Shutteth

A righteous man has regard for the life of his animal,
But even the compassion of the wicked is cruel.

How

If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is

born of God, and whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him.

Also you shall purposely pull out for her some grain from the bundles and leave it that she may glean, and do not rebuke her.”

Honor the Lord from your wealth

And from the first of all your produce;

Deliver those who are being taken away to death,

And those who are staggering to slaughter, Oh hold them back.

Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.

for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink;

This I command you, that you love one another.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
