CHARITY
34
Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them:
otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore
when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the
hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have
glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But when thou
doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That
thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself
shall reward thee openly. (Matt 6:1-4)
35
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an
hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a
stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee
sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say
unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of
the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. (Matt 25:37-40)
36
Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were
possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the
things that were sold, And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and
distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. (Acts 4:34-35)
37
The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and
he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy
them. (Deut 33:27)
38
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. (Ps 46:1)
39
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest. (Matt 11:28)
40
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth,
give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. (John 14:27)
41
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God,
to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Rom 8:28)
42
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is
made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my
infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. (2 Cor 12:9)
43
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. (1 Pet 5:7)
44
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and
forsaketh them shall have mercy. (Prov 28:13)
45
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may
be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. (James 5:16)
46
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and
to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)
47
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. (Ps 56:3)
48
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the
rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire,
thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. (Isa 43:2)
49
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (Rom 8:1)
50
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in
you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. (Phil 1:6)
51
For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not
ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able
to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. (2 Tim 1:12)
52
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what
man shall do unto me. (Heb 13:6)
God bless all readers.
