The poor

Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

In every way I’ve shown you that by laboring like this, it is necessary to help the weak and to keep in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, for He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

And we exhort you, brothers: warn those who are irresponsible, comfort the discouraged, help the weak, be patient with everyone.

Lord

Many adversities come to the one who is righteous,
but the Lord delivers him from them all.

He is always generous, always lending,
and his children are a blessing.

For God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you showed for His name when you served the saints—and you continue to serve them.

For judgment is without mercy to the one who hasn’t shown mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

Time of trouble

They will not be disgraced in times of adversity;
they will be satisfied in days of hunger.

A king’s fury is a messenger of death,
but a wise man appeases it.

So remember your Creator in the days of your youth:

Before the days of adversity come,
and the years approach when you will say,
“I have no delight in them”;

Because you have kept My command to endure, I will also keep you from the hour of testing that is going to come over the whole world to test those who live on the earth.

When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap all the way to the edge of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and the foreign resident; I am Yahweh your God.”
