Mosiah 4:16

And also, ye yourselves will succor those that stand in need of your succor;

ye will administer of your substance unto him that standeth in need;

and ye will not suffer that the beggar putteth up his petition to you in vain,

and turn him out to perish.

Mosiah 4:17

Perhaps thou shalt say:

The man has brought upon himself his misery;

therefore I will stay my hand, and will not give unto him of my food,

nor impart unto him of my substance that he may not suffer,

for his punishments are just—

Mosiah 4:19

For behold, are we not all beggars?

Do we not all depend upon the same Being, even God,

for all the substance which we have,

for both food and raiment, and for gold, and for silver,

and for all the riches which we have of every kind?

Mosiah 4:21

And now, if God, who has created you,

on whom you are dependent for your lives and for all that ye have and are,

doth grant unto you whatsoever ye ask that is right,

in faith, believing that ye shall receive,

O then, how ye ought to impart of the substance that ye have one to another.

Mosiah 4:22

And if ye judge the man who putteth up his petition to you

for your substance that he perish not,

and condemn him,

how much more just will be your condemnation

for withholding your substance, which doth not belong to you but to God,

to whom also your life belongeth;

and yet ye put up no petition, nor repent of the thing which thou hast done.

Mosiah 4:23

I say unto you,

wo be unto that man,

for his substance shall perish with him;

and now, I say these things unto those who are rich

as pertaining to the things of this world.

Mosiah 4:26

And now, for the sake of these things which I have spoken unto you —

that is, for the sake of retaining a remission of your sins from day to day,

that ye may walk guiltless before God —

I would that ye should impart of your substance to the poor,

every man according to that which he hath,

such as feeding the hungry,

clothing the naked,

visiting the sick and administering to their relief,

both spiritually and temporally, according to their wants.
