1 John 3 16-1 John 3 18
We have come to know love by this: that Jesus laid down his life for us; thus we ought to lay down our lives for our fellow Christians.But whoever has the world’s possessions and sees his fellow Christian in need and shuts off his compassion against him, how can the love of God reside in such a person?Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue but in deed and truth.

Their insults are painful and make me lose heart; I look for sympathy, but receive none, for comforters, but find none.

Proverbs 24:11-12
Deliver those being taken away to death, and hold back those slipping to the slaughter.If you say,“ But we did not know about this,” does not the one who evaluates hearts consider? Does not the one who guards your life know? Will he not repay each person according to his deeds?

Ecclesiastes 9:11
Again, I observed this on the earth: the race is not always won by the swiftest, the battle is not always won by the strongest; prosperity does not always belong to those who are the wisest, wealth does not always belong to those who are the most discerning, nor does success always come to those with the most knowledge– for time and chance may overcome them all.

Job 6:14-21
“ To the one in despair, kindness should come from his friend even if he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.My brothers have been as treacherous as a seasonal stream, and as the riverbeds of the intermittent streams that flow away.They are dark because of ice; snow is piled up over them.When they are scorched, they dry up, when it is hot, they vanish from their place.Caravans turn aside from their routes; they go into the wasteland and perish.The caravans of Tema looked intently for these streams; the traveling merchants of Sheba hoped for them.They were distressed, because each one had been so confident; they arrived there, but were disappointed.For now you have become like these streams that are no help; you see a terror, and are afraid.

My heart beats quickly; my strength leaves me; I can hardly see.Because of my condition, even my friends and acquaintances keep their distance; my neighbors stand far away.
-
James 2:13-16
For judgment is merciless for the one who has shown no mercy. But mercy triumphs over judgment.What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but does not have works? Can this kind of faith save him?If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacks daily food,and one of you says to them,“ Go in peace, keep warm and eat well,” but you do not give them what the body needs, what good is it?

So Ruth went and gathered grain in the fields behind the harvesters. Now she just happened to end up in the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was from the clan of Elimelech.
