Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.
Mat. 25
Go, sell your belongings and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.
Mat. 19
Of course if you quote Jesus’ literal words at these people they start screeching about how the Devil can quote scripture too

I was yelling at some people protesting abortion just before the Dobbs decision, and I found one guy who wanted to argue in front of his wife and daughter.
I asked why the Bible has a recipe for an abortion potion in it, and specifically for unfaithful wives; he said it doesn’t.
I told him “oh, weird. I have the passage pulled up here on my phone.”
With a smug look he replied “I don’t do Bible study with non-believers.”
I told him “okay, I’m sure I can find someone in this crowd who isn’t a coward,” and started to walk away.
He didn’t want to look pathetic in front of his family, so he agreed to let me read it. As I was pulling it up, he said “you probably don’t even know who wrote the book of Numbers.”
I told him “Christian and Jewish tradition points to Moses, but nobody really knows,” and then I read the passage.
When I was done, he said “that said it caused a miscarriage, not an abortion.”
I berated him and told him “that’s what the fuck an abortion is, jackass: an induced miscarriage”
His wife asked then me where I got the boba tea I was drinking. I know I didn’t get through to her numbnuts husband, but I think his family may have learned something that day about the Bible and their paterfamilias.
