Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same?

When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next. Truly I tell you, you will not reach all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
