35 “‘If your brother who is nearby becomes poor and cannot support himself, you must sustain him+ as you would a foreign resident and a settler,+ so that he may keep alive with you.

42 Give to the one asking you, and do not turn away from one who wants to borrow from you.+

34 Also, if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, of what credit is it to you?+ Even sinners lend to sinners so that they may get back as much. 35 On the contrary, continue to love your enemies and to do good and to lend without hoping for anything back;+ and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind toward the unthankful and wicked.+

10 They asked only that we keep the poor in mind, and this I have also earnestly endeavored to do.+
