Each person should do as he has decided in his heart— not reluctantly or out of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver.

What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can his faith save him?If a brother or sister is without clothes and lacks daily foodand one of you says to them,“ Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well,” but you don’t give them what the body needs, what good is it?
