Matthew 25:40
Eradicating Systemic Poverty
“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 welcomed me, 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.”
Matthew 25

1 Peter:13-17
