For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the labor of love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.

We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end,

He answered them, “He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise.”
