Job 31:16-23; Proverbs 21:25-26; Matthew 5:40-42; Ephesians 4:28; 1 John 3:16-17

16 "If I have kept the poor from their desire, Or caused the eyes of the widow to fail,

17 Or eaten my morsel by myself, So that the fatherless could not eat of it

18 (But from my youth I reared him as a father, And from my mother's womb I guided the widow);

19 If I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing, Or any poor man without covering;

20 If his heart has not blessed me, And if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

21 If I have raised my hand against the fatherless, When I saw I had help in the gate;

22 Then let my arm fall from my shoulder, Let my arm be torn from the socket.

23 For destruction from God is a terror to me, And because of His magnificence I cannot endure.

25 The desire of the lazy man kills him, For his hands refuse to labor.

26 He covets greedily all day long, But the righteous gives and does not spare.

40 If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also.

41 And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.

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

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.

16 By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

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?
