If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?

凡有世上财物的，看见弟兄穷乏，却塞住怜恤的心，爱神的心怎能存在他里面呢？

凡有世上财物的，看见弟兄缺乏，却关闭了恻隐的心，上帝的爱怎能住在他里面呢？

凡有世上财物的，看见弟兄缺乏，却关闭了恻隐的心，神的爱怎能住在他里面呢？

如果一个丰衣足食的人看见贫穷的弟兄姊妹，却毫无怜悯之心，怎能说他爱上帝呢？

凡有人有世上養生之資，見他弟兄有缺乏，卻向他關閉着憐憫的心腸，愛上帝的心怎能存在他裏面呢？

但如果有人擁有世界的財產，看見自己的弟兄有需要，卻封閉情感，那麼，屬神的愛怎麼能住在他裡面呢？

凡有斯世之財產者、視兄弟匱乏、自塞其矜恤之心、則上帝之愛烏得寓其衷哉、

人有恆產、見兄弟匱乏、而不開誠施與、烏能愛上帝哉、

人若有世之貲財、見兄弟窮乏而不矜恤施與、焉得謂之存愛天主之心乎、焉得謂之存愛天主之心乎原文作則天主之愛豈存於其內乎○

若有人擁有斯世之財富、見其兄弟有急、而閉塞其同情之心、則安得有天主之愛德、存於其衷乎。

Suppose someone sees a brother or sister in need and is able to help them. And suppose that person doesn’t take pity on these needy people. Then how can the love of God be in that person?

And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

John answered,“ Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.”

Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.“ If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk,and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.

Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.

The righteous care for the needs of their animals, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.
