Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.

The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.

He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.

Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:

For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.

If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;

Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?

For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.

If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.

He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.

Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.

Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
