James 2:15 Tagairtí Cros

Isaiah 58:10

You should feel sorry for hungry people and give them food. You should help the people that are troubled—satisfy their needs. Then your light will shine in the darkness. And you will have no sadness. You will be bright like sunshine at noon.

Isaiah 58:7

I want you to share your food with the hungry people. I want you to find poor people that don’t have homes, and I want you to bring them into your own homes. When you see a man that has no clothes—give him your clothes! Don’t hide \{from helping those people\}; they are just like you.”

Ezekiel 18:7

That good person does not take advantage of people. If a person borrows money from him, the good man takes the collateral {\cf2\super [133]} and gives the other person the money. And when that person pays him back, then the good man gives the collateral back. The good person gives food to hungry people. And he gives clothes to people that need them.

Mark 14:7

You will always have poor people with you. You can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me.

James 2:5

Listen, my dear brothers and sisters! God chose the poor people in the world to be rich with faith. He chose them to receive the kingdom God promised to people who love him.

1 John 3:17

Suppose a believer is rich enough to have all the things he needs. He sees his brother \{in Christ\} who is poor and does not have the things he needs. What if the believer who has things does not help the poor brother? Then the believer who has the things he needs does not have God’s love in his heart.
