WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT WELCOMING THE STRANGER Fourteen Bible quotations taken from both the Old and New Testament. Deuteronomy 10: 19 You shall love the stranger, for you were once strangers in the land of Egypt. Leviticus 19:34 The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. Luke 10:27 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbour as yourself. Matt. 5:43-44 You have heard that it was said, ‘you shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy’. But I say to you, love your enemy and pray for those who persecute you. Romans 13:8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. Romans 13:10 Love does no wrong to a neighbour, therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. Romans 12:13 Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers. Acts 10:34 Then Peter began to speak to them: “I truly understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. Revelation 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “See the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them as their God; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them.” 3 John 1:5 Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the friends, even though they are strangers to you; they have testified to your love before the church. You do well to send them on in a manner worthy of God; for they began their journey for the sake of Christ, accepting no support from non-believers. Therefore we ought to support such people, so that they may become co-workers with the truth. Hebrews 13: 1 Let mutual love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it. Collossians 3:11 In that renewal there is no longer Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free; but Christ is all and in all. Matthew 25: 35 I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me. Matt. 25:40 Truly I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of my brethren you did it to me. coistine.ie/resources/information-resources/64-what-the-bible-says-about-welcoming-the-stranger
