“Don't forget that rule, where it says, "Whoever gives to the poor will never be in want." Have you already forgotten what the Lord is going to say to those who have given to the poor: "Come, blessed of my Father, receive the kingdom"?”
Augustine of Hippo, 5th c. — SERMON 198:3
Original
27He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
