“Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way.

Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny” (Matt. 5:23-26)

Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away” (Matt. 5:38-42)
