¹⁷ He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.

⁴² Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

¹² Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.

¹³ But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:

¹⁴ And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
