Romans 11:29-36
(29) For the gifts and the call of God are without regret (30) And just as you also, in times past, did not believe in God, but now you have obtained mercy because of their unbelief (31) so also have these now not believed, for your mercy, so that they might obtain mercy also (32) For God has enclosed everyone in unbelief, so that he may have mercy on everyone (33) Oh, the depths of the richness of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How incomprehensible are his judgments, and how unsearchable are his ways (34) For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor (35) Or who first gave to him, so that repayment would be owed (36) For from him, and through him, and in him are all things. To him is glory, for all eternity. Amen
Psalms 69:30-31, 33-34, 36-37
(30) I am poor and sorrowful, but your salvation, O God, has taken me up (31) I will praise the name of God with a canticle, and I will magnify him with praise (33) Let the poor see and rejoice. Seek God, and your soul will live (34) For the Lord has heard the poor, and he has not despised his prisoners (36) For God will save Zion, and the cities of Judah will be built up. And they will dwell there, and they will acquire it by inheritance (37) And the offspring of his servants will possess it; and those who love his name will dwell in it
Luke 14:12-14
(12) Then he also said to the one who had invited him: “When you prepare a lunch or dinner, do not choose to call your friends, or your brothers, or your relatives, or your wealthy neighbors, lest perhaps they might then invite you in return and repayment would made to you (13) But when you prepare a feast, call the poor, the disabled, the lame, and the blind (14) And you will be blessed because they do not have a way to repay you. So then, your recompense will be in the resurrection of the just.
