Then you will be blessed. Your guests can’t pay you back. But you will be paid back when those who are right with God rise from the dead.”
Anyone who is kind to poor people lends to the Lord. God will reward them for what they have done.
Then your giving will be done secretly. Your Father will reward you, because he sees what you do secretly.
But when you give a banquet, invite those who are poor. Also invite those who can’t see or walk.
They will all come out of their graves. People who have done what is good will rise and live again. People who have done what is evil will rise and be found guilty.
I have the same hope in God that these men themselves have. I believe that both the godly and the ungodly will rise from the dead.
