7  In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by ^coppression with the stranger: in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow.

  22  Rob not the ^apoor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:

  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 ^cpoor, 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.

  12  And it was because of the pride of their hearts, because of their exceeding riches, yea, it was because of their oppression to the ^cpoor, withholding their food from the hungry, withholding their clothing from the naked, and smiting their humble brethren upon the cheek, making a mock of that which was sacred, denying the spirit of prophecy and of revelation, murdering, plundering, lying, stealing, committing adultery, rising up in great contentions, and deserting away into the land of Nephi, among the Lamanites—

  30  And behold, thou wilt remember the poor, and consecrate of thy properties for their support that which thou hast to impart unto them, with a covenant and a deed which cannot be broken.

  6  And the storehouse shall be kept by the consecrations of the church; and widows and orphans shall be provided for, as also the ^bpoor. Amen.
