 9as it is written, He scattered, he gave to the poor: his righteousness remaineth forever.
 10But he that supplieth seed to the sower and bread for eating will supply and multiply your sowing and increase the fruits of your righteousness;
 11ye being enriched in everything unto all liberality which worketh out through us thanksgiving to God.
 12Because the ministration of the service is not only filling up the wants of the saints, but also abounding through many thanksgivings to God;
 13through the proof of this service glorifying God for the subjection of your confession unto the gospel of Christ and liberality of fellowship toward them and toward all;

 15If a brother or a sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
 16and one from among you say to them, Go in peace, be warmed and filled, but ye give them not the things needful for the body, what [is] the profit?
 17So also faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself. (James 2:13‑17)
;
1 John 3:16‑19• 16Herein we know love, because he laid down his life for us; and we ought for the brethren to lay down our lives.
 17But whoso may have the world's means of living, and behold his brother having need, and shut up his bowels from him, how abideth the love of God in him?
 18Dear children, let us not love with word nor with the tongue, but in deed and truth.
 19And herein we shall know that we are of the truth, and shall persuade our hearts before him, (1 John 3:16‑19)
