Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life.

I Jehovah search the heart, I examine the soul, even to give to each man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual perversions, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual perversions, murders,

thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.

But sin, taking occasion through the commandment, produced in me every lust. For apart from the Law sin is dead.

I was alive once apart from the Law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.

Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, The Spirit who dwells in us yearns to envy?

The eye of the man who is tender and very delicate shall quiver with hostility toward his brother, toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the rest of his children whom he leaves behind,

The eye of the tender and dainty woman among you, who would not have ventured to set the sole of her foot on the ground because of her delicateness and tenderness, will quiver with hostility toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son and her daughter,

Do not eat the bread of him who has an evil eye, nor desire his dainty foods;

The wicked devices of foolishness is sin; and the scorner is an abomination to men.

He who hastens to be rich has an evil eye, and does not recognize that poverty will come upon him.

Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?

Do not grumble against one another, brethren, that you not be condemned. Behold, the Judge stands at the door.

Be hospitable to one another without murmuring.

Each day you shall give him his wages, and not let the sun go down on it, for he is poor and is sustaining his soul with it; lest he cry out against you unto Jehovah, and it be sin in you.

And Jehovah said: I have given attention to see the affliction of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I have acknowledged their pain.

If you afflict them to humiliate them, and they make an outcry to cry out unto Me, I will hear and give heed to their cry;

so that they cause the cry of the poor to come to Him; for He hears the cry of the lowly.

When He investigates bloodshed, He forgets not the cry of the lowly.

Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

Indeed the wages of the laborers who reaped your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts.

Then He will also say to those on the left hand, Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire having been prepared for the devil and his angels:

I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.

Then He will answer them, saying, Truly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.

Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.

Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?
