If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.

If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:

He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.

Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.

Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.

And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

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?

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth.
