凡有斯世之財產者、視兄弟匱乏、自塞其矜恤之心、則上帝之愛烏得寓其衷哉、

人有恆產、見兄弟匱乏、而不開誠施與、烏能愛上帝哉、

人若有世之貲財、見兄弟窮乏而不矜恤施與、焉得謂之存愛天主之心乎、焉得謂之存愛天主之心乎原文作則天主之愛豈存於其內乎○

若有人擁有斯世之財富、見其兄弟有急、而閉塞其同情之心、則安得有天主之愛德、存於其衷乎。

If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?

不可忘記行善和幫補別人，因為這樣的祭是上帝所喜悅的。

約翰回答說：「有兩件衣服的，應當分一件給沒有的；食物充裕的，應當分些給饑餓的。」

把你們的食物分給饑餓的人，接待無家可歸的窮人，送衣服給赤身露體的人，不躲避求助的親人。如果你們這樣做，你們的光必如晨光照耀，你們的創傷必迅速痊癒，你們的公義必在前方為你們開路，耶和華的榮耀必在後面保護你們。你們求告，我必應允；你們呼求，我必回應。如果你們不再欺壓、指責、譭謗，如果你們給饑餓的人食物，扶助困苦的人，你們的光必照亮黑暗，你們的黑夜必變成正午。

你要勸誡那些今世富足的人不要高傲，也不要冀望於靠不住的錢財，要信靠將萬物厚賜給我們享用的上帝。你要勸他們多多行善、慷慨施捨、樂意助人。

義人顧惜自己的牲畜，惡人的憐憫也是殘忍。

每一個信耶穌是基督的人，都是從上帝生的。凡愛生他之上帝的，也愛上帝所生的。
