Deu 15:7-14, Pro 11:24-25, 28:27, Isa 58:7-11, Mat 10:41-42, 25:40 | ESV | STEP | If among you, one of your brothers should become poor , in any of your towns within your land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart or shut your hand against your poor brother ,

7 “If among you, one of your brothers should become poor, in any of your towns within your land that the Lord your God is giving you, ^ayou shall not harden your heart or shut your hand against your poor brother, 8 but ^byou shall open your hand to him and lend him sufficient for his need, whatever it may be. 9 Take care lest there be an unworthy thought in your heart and you say, ‘The seventh year, the year of release is near,’ and your ^ceye look grudgingly ^{▼▼Or be evil; also verse 10} on your poor brother, and you give him nothing, and he ^ecry to the Lord against you, and ^fyou be guilty of sin. 10 You shall give to him freely, and ^gyour heart shall not be grudging when you give to him, because ^hfor this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake. 11 For ⁱthere will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, ^j‘You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.’

12 ^k“If your brother, a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, is sold ^{▼▼Or sells himself} to you, he shall serve you six years, and in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you. 13 And when you let him go free from you, you shall not let him go empty-handed. 14 You shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, out of your threshing floor, and out of your winepress. ^mAs the Lord your God has blessed you, you shall give to him.

Proverbs 11:24-25

24 ⁿOne gives ^ofreely, yet grows all the richer;
another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.

and ^rone who waters will himself be watered.

Proverbs 28:27

27 Whoever ^sgives to the poor will not want,
but he who ^thides his eyes will get many a curse.

Isaiah 58:7-11

7 Is it not ^uto share your bread with the hungry
and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover him,
^vand not to hide yourself from your own flesh?
8 ^wThen shall your light break forth like the dawn,
^xand your healing shall spring up speedily;
^yyour righteousness shall go before you;
^zthe glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
9 Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer;
you shall cry, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’
If you take away ^aathe yoke from your midst,
^abthe pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,
10 ^acif you pour yourself out for the hungry
and satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
^adthen shall your light rise in the darkness
and your gloom be as the noonday.
11 And the Lord will guide you continually
and satisfy your desire in scorched places
and make your bones strong;
and you shall be ^aelike a watered garden,
like a spring of water,
whose waters do not fail.

Matthew 10:41-42

41 ^afThe one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. 42 And ^agwhoever gives one of ^ahthese little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”

Matthew 25:40

40 And ^aithe King will answer them, ^aj‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these ^akmy brothers, ^{▼▼Or brothers and sisters} you did it to me.’
