I feel like most religious people skip these verses,
******James 2:14-17******
What good is it , my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? if a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
Matthew 6:24
Noone can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
Hebrew 13:16
Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.
Philippians 2:4
Let each of you look not only in his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
1 John 3:17
But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?
Matthew 25:35-40
For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me. ' Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?
Proverbs 19:17
Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.
Proverbs 22:9
Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.
Matthew 5:42
Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.
Romans 15:1
We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
Mark 10:21
and Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, "You lack one thing: go sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and com,e follow me."
