30 "Perhaps thou shalt say, ' The man hath brought upon himself his misery, therefore I will stay my hand and will not give unto him of my food, nor impart unto him of my substance that he may not suffer, for his punishments are just ';
31 But I say unto you O man, whosoever doeth this, the same hath great cause to repent; And except he repenteth of that which he hath done, he perisheth forever and hath no interest in the kingdom of God.
32 "For behold, are we not all beggars? Do we not all depend upon the same Being, even God, for all the substance which we have? For both food and raiment and for gold and for silver and for all the riches which we have of every kind?
33 "And behold, even at this time ye have been calling on His name and begging for a remission of your sins;
34 And hath He suffered that ye have begged in vain?
35 Nay, He hath poured out His Spirit upon you, And hath caused that your hearts should be filled with joy, And hath caused that your mouths should be stopped, that ye could not find utterance, so exceeding great was your joy.
36 "And now, if God who hath created you, on whom you are dependent for your lives and for all that ye have and are, doth grant unto you whatsoever ye ask that is right, in faith believing that ye shall receive, O then, how had ye ought to impart of the substance that ye have one to another!
37 "And if ye judge the man who putteth up his petition to you for your substance, that he perish not, and condemn him, How much more just will be your condemnation for withholding your substance which doth not belong to you, but to God to whom also your life belongeth?
38 And yet ye put up no petition, or repenteth not of the thing which thou hast done;
39 I say unto you, wo be unto that man! for his substance shall perish with him. "And now, I say these things unto those which are rich as pertaining to the things of this world.
40 "And again I say unto the poor, ye that have not and yet hath sufficient that ye remain from day to day - I mean all you that deny the beggar because ye have not - I would that ye say in your hearts that ' I give not because I have not, but if I had I would give. '
