Genesis 37:27
37:27 Come, let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites, but let’s not lay a hand on him,
for after all, he is our brother, our own flesh.” His brothers agreed.
Isaiah 58:7
58:7 I want you to share your food with the hungry
and to provide shelter for homeless, oppressed people.
When you see someone naked, clothe him!
Don’t turn your back on your own flesh and blood!
James 2:5-6
2:5 Listen, my dear brothers and sisters!
Did not God choose the poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that he promised to those who love him?
2:6 But you have dishonored the poor!
Are not the rich oppressing you and dragging you into the courts?
