TSK · Proverbs 14:21

“If I have disregarded the right of my male servants or my female servants when they disputed with me,

For he did not despise or detest the suffering of the oppressed; he did not ignore him; when he cried out to him, he responded.

He generously gives to the needy; his integrity endures. He will be vindicated and honored.

One person is generous and yet grows more wealthy, but another withholds more than he should and comes to poverty.

The one who mocks the poor has insulted his Creator; whoever rejoices over disaster will not go unpunished.

The one who is gracious to the poor lends to the LORD, and the LORD will repay him for his good deed.

The one who gives to the poor will not lack, but whoever shuts his eyes to them will receive many curses.

I want you to share your food with the hungry and to provide shelter for homeless, oppressed people. When you see someone naked, clothe him! Don’t turn your back on your own flesh and blood!

Then the king will say to those on his right,‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

The Parable of the Pharisee and Tax Collector Jesus also told this parable to some who were confident that they were righteous and looked down on everyone else.

so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherit the promises.

Faith and Works Together What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but does not have works? Can this kind of faith save him?
