1 Juan 3 16-1 Juan 3 18
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.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?Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.

Job 6:14-21
“ Anyone who withholds kindness from a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty.But my brothers are as undependable as intermittent streams, as the streams that overflowwhen darkened by thawing ice and swollen with melting snow,but that stop flowing in the dry season, and in the heat vanish from their channels.Caravans turn aside from their routes; they go off into the wasteland and perish.The caravans of Tema look for water, the traveling merchants of Sheba look in hope.They are distressed, because they had been confident; they arrive there, only to be disappointed.Now you too have proved to be of no help; you see something dreadful and are afraid.
