That's the one that instructs the followers of Jesus to feed the hungry, heal the sick, shelter the homeless, visit the imprisoned (gee, will that mean Rubio will visit the people he sent to El Salvadoran prisons soon?), etc. It also tells the followers of Jesus to not ostentatioiusly pray in public places, but quietly in their own homes.

I often think MAGAt self-proclaimed Christians skip over all of these parts in favor of smiting and destruction in the older parts.
