Matthew 5:27-32 is part of the Sermon on the Mount discourse‚ which is one of the five discourses of the Gospel of Matthew (5-7‚ 10‚ 13‚ 18‚ and 23-25). This passage locates relatively earlier in the Sermon. Professor Dallas Willard (1998)‚ in his book The Divine Conspiracy‚ claims that “The later parts of the Discourse presuppose the earlier parts and simply cannot be understood unless their dependence upon the earlier parts is clearly seen” (p. 138). If the sequential order in the discourse

Charity is supposed to be a selfless act done by people who expect nothing in return for their help except for the feeling of having helped someone in need.

Charity should be what

A Visit of Charity In the short story of "A Visit of Charity" by Eudora Welty‚ a fourteen-year-old girl visits two women in a home for the elderly to bring them a plant and to earn points for Campfire Girls.
