42 “Gie till him seekin frae ye; and frae him wha wad receive oʼ ye turn‐ye‐no awa.
“And gin ye be impressʼd for a mile wiʼ ane, gang ane mair wiʼ him.
“Gie noo yere substance as awmous; and aʼ things are pure tʼye.
“Gin yere enemy hungʼer, feed him; gin he be drouthie, gie him drink; for, sae doin, ye sal heap coals oʼ fire on his heid.”
But, oʼ doin gude, and oʼ fellowship, forget na; for wiʼ sic sacrifeeces as thir, God is weel‐pleased.
For God is no ill‐deedie to be forgettin yere wark and love that ye schawed forth for his name; in serʼin the saunts, and still serʼin.
The service oʼ religion, pure and perfete afore oor God and Father is this: To be visitin faitherless and widows iʼ their dool, to keep his sel unstained frae the warld.
