7 “In case some one of your brothers becomes poor among you in one of your cities,* in your land that Jehovah your God is giving you, you must not harden your heart or be closefisted toward your poor brother.+

27 Do not hold back good from those to whom it is owing,*+ when it happens to be in the power of your hand to do [it].+

41 Nevertheless, give as gifts of mercy+ the things that are inside, and, look! all [other] things are clean about YOU.*

35 I have exhibited to YOU in all things that by thus laboring+ YOU must assist those who are weak,+ and must bear in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, when he himself said, ‘There is more happiness in giving+ than there is in receiving.’”

16 Moreover, do not forget the doing of good+ and the sharing of things with others, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.+
