Isa 32:5, 8, 58:7-11, Mat 6:2-4, 25:40, Luk 21:1-4, Act 2:44-46, 4:33-35 | ESV | STEP | The fool will no more be called noble , nor the scoundrel said to be honorable .

7 Is it not ^bto share your bread with the hungry
and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover him,
^cand not to hide yourself from your own flesh?
8 ^dThen shall your light break forth like the dawn,
^eand your healing shall spring up speedily;
^fyour righteousness shall go before you;
^gthe 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 ^hthe yoke from your midst,
ⁱthe pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,
10 ^jif you pour yourself out for the hungry
and satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
^kthen 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 ^llike a watered garden,
like a spring of water,
whose waters do not fail.

Matthew 6:2-4

2 ^m“Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may ⁿbe praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have ^oreceived their reward. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. ^pAnd your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

Matthew 25:40
