In Luke 14:12-14, Jesus instructs his host to practice selfless hospitality by inviting the poor, crippled, lame, and blind to their meals instead of friends or family who can repay the favor.

In John 8:34, Jesus Christ makes the profound statement, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin.’ This verse teaches that sin is not merely a series of isolated wrong actions, but a state of spiritual bondage that masters an individual and separates them from God.
