Helping Those in Need

In everything, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus Himself: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

Kindness to the poor is a loan to the LORD, and He will repay the lender.

Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

For there will never cease to be poor in the land; that is why I am commanding you to open wide your hand to your brother and to the poor and needy in your land.

A generous man will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.

Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”

And do not neglect to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

Whoever oppresses the poor taunts their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors Him.

Whoever gives to the poor will not be in need, but he who hides his eyes will receive many curses.
