store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may attain eternal life.

God is not unrighteous, that he will forget your works and labor that proceedeth of love; which love ye have shewed for his name's sake, who have ministered unto the saints, and yet do minister.

To do good, and to communicate, forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

Whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

Give alms of thy goods, and never turn thy face from any poor man; and then the face of the Lord shall not be turned away from thee.

Be merciful after thy power: If thou hast much, give plenteously: If thou hast little, do thy diligence gladly to give of that little for so gatherest thou thyself a good reward in the day of necessity.

He that hath pity upon the poor, lendeth unto the Lord; and look, what he layeth out, it shall be paid him again.

Blessed be the man that provideth for the sick and needy the Lord shall deliver him in the time of trouble.
