Contradiction with Matthew 5:42
This verse encourages giving to those who ask, whereas Titus 3:13 focuses on helping specific individuals, possibly limiting generosity.
Matthew 5:42: Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
Contradiction with Proverbs 19:17
Suggests lending to the Lord through kindness to the poor, contrasting with Titus 3:13's instruction to support specific persons.
Proverbs 19:17: He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again. [that which...: or, his deed]
Contradiction with Luke 6:30
Advises giving to everyone who asks, contradicting the selective support seen in Titus 3:13.
Luke 6:30: Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask [them] not again.
Contradiction with Acts 20:35
Emphasizes more blessedness in giving than receiving, potentially conflicting with the targeted support in Titus 3:13.
Acts 20:35: I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Contradiction with 1 John 3:17
Questions the love of God in those who see needs and do not help, which may contrast with the specific help encouraged in Titus 3:13.
1 John 3:17: But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels [of compassion] from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
