Clerical Library Acts 20:35 I have showed you all things, how that so laboring you ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus… An Irish schoolmaster who, whilst poor himself, had given gratuitous instruction to certain poor children, when increased in worldly goods began to complain of the service, and said to his wife he could not afford to give it any longer for nothing, who replied, "Oh, James, don't say the like o' that — don't; a poor scholar never came into the house that I didn't feel as if he brought fresh air from heaven with him — I never miss the bit I give them — my heart warms to the soft, homely sound of their bare feet on the floor, and the door almost opens of itself to let them in." (Clerical Library.) Parallel Verses KJV: I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. |
