Pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

In every way I’ve shown you that it is necessary to help the weak by labouring like this and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, because he said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” ’
