CROSSWORD ANSWERS
For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who is not partial and takes no bribe, who executes justice for the orphan and the widow, and who loves the stran- gers, providing them with food and clothing.
... 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 ...
O God ... you note trouble and grief, that you may take it into your hands; the helpless commit them- selves to you; you have been the helper of the orphan.
In all this I have given you an ex- ample that by such work we must support the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus, for he himself said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have enter tained angels without knowing it.
