Beneficence

“If there is a poor man among your brothers within any of the gates in the land that the LORD your God is giving you, then you are not to harden your heart or shut your hand from your poor brother.”

“Now if your countryman becomes destitute and cannot support himself among you, then you are to help him as you would a foreigner or stranger, so that he can continue to live among you.”

“Blessed is the one who cares for the poor; the LORD will deliver him in the day of trouble.”

“He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor.”

“Do not withhold good from the deserving when it is within your power to act.”

“Do not tell your neighbor, “Come back tomorrow and I will provide”— when you already have the means.”

“A generous soul will prosper, and he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.”

“A generous man will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.”
