'Take heed to thee lest there be a word in thy heart -- worthless, saying, Near [is] the seventh year, the year of release; and thine eye is evil against thy needy brother, and thou dost not give to him, and he hath called concerning thee unto Jehovah, and it hath been in thee sin;

Whoso is shutting his ear from the cry of the poor, He also doth cry, and is not answered.

and he would not, but having gone away, he cast him into prison, till he might pay that which was owing.

and if a brother or sister may be naked, and may be destitute of the daily food,

and any one of you may say to them, 'Depart ye in peace, be warmed, and be filled,' and may not give to them the things needful for the body, what [is] the profit?

in this we have known the love, because he for us his life did lay down, and we ought for the brethren the lives to lay down;

and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his bowels from him -- how doth the love of God remain in him?
