¹ Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

¹² "This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.

³⁵ for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in;

³⁶ naked, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you visited me; I was in prison, and you came to me.'

³⁷ "Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink?

³⁸ When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you?

³⁹ When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'

⁴⁰ "The King will answer them, 'Most assuredly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers{The word for "brothers" here may be also correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."}, you did it to me.'

⁴¹ Then he will say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels;

⁴ each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.

¹³ Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

³⁵ In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"

³⁶ When he had spoken these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.

³⁷ They all wept a lot, and fell on Paul's neck and kissed him,

³⁸ sorrowing most of all because of the word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.

³⁸ "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be given to you.{literally, into your bosom.} For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you."

¹⁴ What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?

¹⁵ And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food,

¹⁶ and one of you tells them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled;" and yet you didn't give them the things the body needs, what good is it?

¹⁷ Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.

¹⁸ Yes, a man will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith.

¹⁶ Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

² Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

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

¹³ contributing to the needs of the saints; given to hospitality.

²⁸ Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.

¹⁰ The multitudes asked him, "What then must we do?"

¹¹ He answered them, "He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise."

¹² Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, "Teacher, what must we do?"

¹⁷ But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and closes his heart of compassion against him, how does the love of God remain in him?

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

³³ Sell that which you have, and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don't grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn't fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth destroys.

³⁴ For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

³⁵ "Let your loins be girded and your lamps burning.
