If anyone with earthly possessions sees his brother in need, but withholds his compassion from him, how can the love of God abide in him?

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)


But whoever has the world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and closes his heart of compassion against him, how does the love of God remain in him?
