35 *for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; *I was a stranger and you took Me in;36 I was*naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; *I was in prison and you came to Me.’

37 "Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink?38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You?39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, *inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

42 Give to him who asks you, and *from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.

16 Let your light so shine before men, *that they may see your good works and *glorify your Father in heaven.

38 *Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your *bosom. For *with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you."

10 So the people asked him, saying, *"What shall we do then?"

11 He answered and said to them, *"He who has two tunics, let him give to him who has none; and he who has food, *let him do likewise."

33 *Sell what you have and give *alms; *provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys.34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

12 *This is My *commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

13 *Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.

35 I have shown you in every way, *by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ "

36 And when he had said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all. 37 Then they all *wept freely, and *fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him, 38 sorrowing most of all for the words which he spoke, that they would see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.

13 *distributing to the needs of the saints, *given to hospitality.

Bearing Others’ Burdens

1 We *then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

2 *Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill *the law of Christ.

28 Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather *let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something *to give him who has need.

4 *Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of *others.

Faith Without Works Is Dead

14 *What doesit profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 *If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and *one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what doesit profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

17 But *whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?

17 *He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord,

And He will pay back what he has given.

11 For *the poor will never cease from the land; therefore I command you, saying, ‘You shall open your hand wide to your brother, to your poor and your needy, in your land.’
