Charity

7If a poor man, one of your brothers, is with you within any of your gates in your land which Yahweh your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother;

11For the poor will never cease out of the land. Therefore I command you to surely open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor, in your land.

25I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread.

26All day long he deals graciously, and lends. His offspring is blessed.

9He has dispersed, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor.

27Don’t withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.

28Don’t say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again; tomorrow I will give it to you,” when you have it by you.

29Don’t devise evil against your neighbor, since he dwells securely by you.

24There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.

25The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself.

21He who despises his neighbor sins, but blessed is he who has pity on the poor.

17He who has pity on the poor lends to Yahweh; he will reward him.

9He who has a generous eye will be blessed; for he shares his food with the poor.

10and if you pour out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul: then your light will rise in darkness, and your obscurity will be as the noonday;

49Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

42Give to him who asks you, and don’t turn away him who desires to borrow from you.

21Jesus looking at him loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross.”

3If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don’t have love, it profits me nothing.

7Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver.
