He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.
Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:
If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
