For you always have the poor among you, and whenever you please you can do for them, but you will not always have me.

Jesus said to them, "I want to ask you, Is it allowable on the Sabbath to do people good or to do them harm? to save life or to destroy it?"

So then whenever we have an opportunity, let us do good to all men, especially to those who belong to the family of the faith.

Charge them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, open-handed and generous,

But do not forget to be helpful and generous, for that is the kind of sacrifice that pleases God.

So when a man knows what is right and fails to do it, he is guilty of sin.

Try to be at peace with everyone, and strive for that consecration without which no one can see the Lord.

The wisdom that is from above is first of all pure, then peaceable, considerate, willing to yield, full of compassion and good deeds, whole-hearted, straightforward.
