“ Suppose I haven’t treated any of my male and female servants fairly when they’ve brought charges against me.Then what will I do when God opposes me? What answer will I give him when he asks me to explain myself?Didn’t he who made me make my servants also? Didn’t the same God form us inside our mothers?

And my glory will follow behind you and guard you. That’s because I always do what is right.You will call out to me for help. And I will answer you. You will cry out.

Suppose a person claims to have faith but doesn’t act on their faith. My brothers and sisters, can this kind of faith save them?Suppose a brother or a sister has no clothes or food.Suppose one of you says to them,“ Go. I hope everything turns out fine for you. Keep warm. Eat well.” And suppose you do nothing about what they really need. Then what good have you done?

“ Then the King will speak to those on his right. He will say,‘ My Father has blessed you. Come and take what is yours. It is the kingdom prepared for you since the world was created.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 needed clothes. And you gave them to me. I was sick. And you took care of me. I was in prison. And you came to visit me.’“ Then the people who have done what is right will answer him.‘ Lord,’ they will ask,‘ when did we see you hungry and feed you? When did we see you thirsty and give you something to drink?When did we see you as a stranger and invite you in? When did we see you needing clothes and give them to you?When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’“ 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.’“ Then he will say to those on his left,‘ You are cursed! Go away from me into the fire that burns forever. It has been prepared for the devil and his angels.I was hungry. But you gave me nothing to eat. I was thirsty. But you gave me nothing to drink.I was a stranger. But you did not invite me in. I needed clothes. But you did not give me any. I was sick and in prison. But you did not take care of 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.’“ Then they will go away to be punished forever. But those who have done what is right will receive eternal life.”

Blessed are those who care about weak people. When they are in trouble, the Lord saves them.The Lord guards them and keeps them alive. They are counted among those who are blessed in the land. The Lord won’t hand them over to the wishes of their enemies.

My dear brothers and sisters, listen to me. Hasn’t God chosen those who are poor in the world’s eyes to be rich in faith? Hasn’t he chosen them to receive the kingdom? Hasn’t he promised it to those who love him?But you have disrespected poor people. Aren’t rich people taking advantage of you? Aren’t they dragging you into court?

Give to everyone who asks you. And if anyone takes what belongs to you, don’t ask to get it back.Do to others as you want them to do to you.“ Suppose you love those who love you. Should anyone praise you for that? Even sinners love those who love them.And suppose you do good to those who are good to you. Should anyone praise you for that? Even sinners do that.And suppose you lend money to those who can pay you back. Should anyone praise you for that? Even a sinner lends to sinners, expecting them to pay everything back.But love your enemies. Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then you will receive a lot in return. And you will be children of the Most High God. He is kind to people who are evil and are not thankful.So have mercy, just as your Father has mercy.

Jesus told a story to some people who were sure they were right with God. They looked down on everyone else.
