6 Many will seek the favor of a generous man , And every man is a friend to him who gives gifts . 7 All the brothers of a poor man hate him; How much e more do his friends abandon him! He pursues them with words , but they are gone .
We are without excuse if we do not love God with all our hearts. His gifts to us are past number, and all the gifts of men to us are fruits of his bounty.
Christ was left by all his disciples; but the Father was with him. It encourages our faith that he had so large an experience of the sorrows of poverty.
