我未曾让旅客在街上过夜，却开门迎接行路的人；

but no stranger had to spend the night in the street, for my door was always open to the traveler—

( the sojourner has not lodged in the street; I have opened my doors to the traveler),

I have never turned away a stranger but have opened my doors to everyone.

No stranger had to spend the night on the street, for I opened my door to the traveler.

The stranger has not spent the night outside, For I have opened my doors to the traveler.

( But no sojourner had to lodge in the street, For I have opened my doors to the traveler);

( The sojourner hath not lodged in the street; But I have opened my doors to the traveller);

No stranger had to spend the night on the street, for I opened my door to the traveler.

The stranger did not lodge in the street:[ but] I opened my doors to the traveller.

But no stranger had to spend the night outside, for I opened my doors to the traveler–

( the foreigner has not camped in the street, but I have opened my doors to the traveler);

“ My lords,” he said,“ please come to my house. You can wash your feet and spend the night there. Then you can go on your way early in the morning.”“ No,” they answered.“ We’ll spend the night in the town square.”But Lot wouldn’t give up. So they went with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them. He baked bread without using yeast. And they ate.

“ You are welcome at my house,” the old man said.“ I’d be happy to supply anything you might need. But don’t spend the night in the street.”So the old man took him into his house and fed his donkeys. After the travelers had washed their feet, they had something to eat and drink.

Don’t forget to welcome outsiders. By doing that, some people have welcomed angels without knowing it.

Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Welcome others into your homes.

Welcome others into your homes without complaining.

I was hungry. And you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty. And you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger. And you invited me in.

I haven’t kept my bread to myself. I’ve shared it with children whose fathers had died.From the time I was young, I’ve helped those widows. I’ve raised those children as a father would.

“ The King will reply,‘ What I’m about to tell you is true. Anything you did for one of the least important of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

“ They also will answer,‘ Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty and not help you? When did we see you as a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison and not help you?’“ He will reply,‘ What I’m about to tell you is true. Anything you didn’t do for one of the least important of these, you didn’t do for me.’

They stopped there to spend the night. They went to the city’s main street and sat down. But no one took them home for the night.

She must be well known for the good things she does. That includes bringing up children. It includes inviting guests into her home. It includes washing the feet of the Lord’s people. It includes helping those who are in trouble. A widow should spend her time doing all kinds of good things.

Share your food with hungry people. Provide homeless people with a place to stay. Give naked people clothes to wear. Provide for the needs of your own family.
