- From Bono's Speech to the 2006 National Prayer Breakfast in Washington DC
“Do to others as you would have them do to you.” Jesus says that [in the New Testament, Luke 6:31].
“Righteousness is this: that one should...give away wealth out of love for him to the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and the beggars and for the emancipation of the captives.” The Koran says that (2.177).
Thus sayeth the Lord: 'Bring the homeless poor into the house, when you see the naked, cover him, then your light will break out like the dawn and your recovery will speedily spring fourth, then your Lord will be your rear guard.' The Jewish scripture says that [in the Old Testament, Isaiah 58].
That is a powerful incentive: “The Lord will watch your back.”
Sounds like a good deal to me.
