Wealth and
the poor and judging
A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,
and favor is better than silver or gold.
The rich and the poor have this in common:
the Lord is the maker of them all.
Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity,
and the rod of anger will fail.
Those who are generous are blessed,
for they share their bread with the poor.
Do not rob the poor because they are poor,
or crush the afflicted at the gate;
for the Lord pleads their cause
and despoils of life those who despoil them.

From there he set out and went away to the region of Tyre. He entered a house
and did not want anyone to know he was there. Yet he could not escape notice,
but a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately heard about
him, and she came and bowed down at his feet. Now the woman was a Gentile, of
Syrophoenician origin. She begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter. He
said to her, "Let the children be fed first, for it is not fair to take
the children's food and throw it to the dogs." But she answered him,
"Sir, even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs." Then
he said to her, "For saying that, you may go - the demon has left your
daughter." So she went home, found the child lying on the bed, and the demon
gone.
Then he returned from the region of Tyre, and went by way of Sidon towards the
Sea of Galilee, in the region of the Decapolis. They brought to him a deaf man
who had an impediment in his speech; and they begged him to lay his hand on
him. He took him aside in private, away from the crowd, and put his fingers
into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue. Then looking up to heaven,
he sighed and said to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be
opened." And immediately his ears were opened, his tongue was released,
and he spoke plainly. Then Jesus ordered them to tell no one; but the more he
ordered them, the more zealously they proclaimed it. They were astonished
beyond measure, saying, "He has done everything well; he even makes the
deaf to hear and the mute to speak."

7:24-37

What good is
it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works?
Can faith save you? If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and
one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill,"
and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? So
faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.

2:14-17
