Psalms 18:23-25
18:23 I was innocent before him,
and kept myself from sinning.
18:24 The Lord rewarded me for my godly deeds;
he took notice of my blameless behavior.
18:25 You prove to be loyal to one who is faithful;
you prove to be trustworthy to one who is innocent.

he will never lose his reward.”

25:35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,
25:36 I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’
25:37 Then the righteous will answer him,
‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?
25:38 When
did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or naked and clothe you?
25:39 When
did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’
25:40 And the king will answer them,
‘I tell you the truth,
just as you did it for one of the least of these brothers or sisters
of mine, you did it for me.’

whoever gives you a cup of water because
you bear Christ’s
name will never lose his reward.
