But whoeverhasthe world'sgoods,and seeshis brotherin needand closeshis heartagainsthim, howdoes the loveof Godabidein him?
A righteousmanhasregardfor the lifeof his animal,But [even] the compassionof the wickedis cruel.
He who oppressesthe poortauntshis Maker,But he who is graciousto the needyhonorsHim.
One who is graciousto a poormanlendsto the LORD,And He will repayhim for his gooddeed.
He who shutshis earto the cryof the poorWill alsocryhimselfand not be answered.
He who turnsawayhis earfrom listeningto the law,Evenhis prayeris an abomination.
And he would answerand sayto them, "The man who hastwotunicsis to sharewith him who hasnone;and he who hasfoodis to dolikewise."
For you knowthe graceof our LordJesusChrist,that though He was rich,yet for your sakeHe becamepoor,sothat you through His povertymight become rich.
And do not neglectdoing goodand sharing,for with suchsacrificesGodis pleased.
Ifa brotherorsisteris without clothingand in needof dailyfood,
and oneof you saysto them, "Goin peace,be warmedand be filled,"and yetyou do not givethem what is necessaryfor [their] body,whatuseis that?
Ifsomeonesays,"I loveGod,"and hateshis brother,he is a liar;for the one who does not lovehis brotherwhomhe has seen,cannotloveGodwhomhe has not seen.
Whoeverbelievesthat Jesusis the Christis bornof God,and whoeverlovesthe Fatherlovesthe [child] bornof Him.
