7 “If one of your brothers becomes poor among you in one of your cities of the land that Jehovah your God is giving you, do not harden your heart or be tightfisted toward your poor brother.+ 8 For you should generously open your hand to him+ and by all means lend* whatever he needs or is lacking.

16 Moreover, do not forget to do good and to share what you have with others,+ for God is well-pleased with such sacrifices.+
