Blessed is the man who is gracious and lends to those in need. – (cf.) Psalm 112:5
Love For One Another
Owe no one anything, except to love one another; For the one who loves another has fulfilled
The Law. The Commandments, “You shall not commit adultery; You shall not murder;
You shall not steal; You shall not covet” (Exodus 20:13-17; Deuteronomy 5:17-21)
and any other Commandment are summed up in this word, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
Love does no wrong to a neighbor; Therefore, love is the fulfilling of The Law. –Romans 13:8-10
Blessings of the Righteous
Praise The Lord!
Happy are those who fear the Lord, who greatly delight in His Commandments.
Their descendants will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.
Wealth and riches are in their houses and their righteousness endures forever.
They rise in the darkness as a light for the upright; they are gracious, merciful and righteous.
It is well with those who deal generously and lend, who conduct their affairs with justice.
For the righteous will never be moved; they will be remembered forever.
They are not afraid of evil tidings; their hearts are firm, secure in the Lord.
Their hearts are steady, they will not be afraid;
In the end they will look in triumph on their foes.
They have distributed freely, they have given to the poor;
Their righteousness endures forever; their horn is exalted in honor.
The wicked see it and are angry; they gnash their teeth and melt away; the desire of the wicked
comes to nothing. –Psalm 112:1-10
