Lucas 6

Lucas 6:36

[(quoting John Chrysostom, On Alms)] A human being is a great thing, and a man, if merciful, is to be honoured. Behold, how great a thing is mercy—the merciful man God likens to Himself; for He saith: Be ye merciful, even as your Father which is in heaven is merciful. Should death come, there your riches abide. — The Christian Topography, Book 10
