1. Proverbs 14:31

Here are the top 99 Bible quotes on helping the poor:

“Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him.” “Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.” “Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” “Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” “Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.” “But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.” “Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.” “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.” “Whoever gives to the poor will not want, but he who hides his eyes will get many a curse.” “What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” “If among you, one of your brothers should become poor, in any of your towns within your land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart or shut your hand against your poor brother, but you shall open your hand to him and lend him sufficient for his need, whatever it may be.” “Blessed is the one who considers the poor! In the day of trouble the Lord delivers him.” “Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.” “But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you.” “Whoever multiplies his wealth by interest and profit gathers it for him who is generous to the poor.” “I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and will execute justice for the needy.” “When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”” “Whoever despises his neighbor is a sinner, but blessed is he who is generous to the poor.” “If you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday.” “Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.” “Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.” “I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and will execute justice for the needy.” “Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back.” “A righteous man knows the rights of the poor; a wicked man does not understand such knowledge.” “Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.” “Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?” “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.” “Blessed is the one who considers the poor! In the day of trouble the Lord delivers him; the Lord protects him and keeps him alive; he is called blessed in the land; you do not give him up to the will of his enemies. The Lord sustains him on his sickbed; in his illness you restore him to full health.” “Whoever oppresses the poor to increase his own wealth, or gives to the rich, will only come to poverty.” “Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”” “Whoever mocks the poor insults his Maker; he who is glad at calamity will not go unpunished.” “The wicked borrows but does not pay back, but the righteous is generous and gives.” “To turn aside the needy from justice and to rob the poor of my people of their right, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!” “And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’” “Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered.” “If I have withheld anything that the poor desired, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail, or have eaten my morsel alone, and the fatherless has not eaten of it (for from my youth the fatherless grew up with me as with a father, and from my mother’s womb I guided the widow), if I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing, or the needy without covering, if his body has not blessed me, and if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep,” “But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him?” “And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.” “If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?” “Whoever gives to the poor will not want, but he who hides his eyes will get many a curse.”
