Unless

Ecclesiastes 9:16 New English Translation (NET Bible)

16 So I concluded that wisdom is better than might,
but a poor man’s wisdom is despised; no one ever listens to his advice.

 

Nothing wrong with doing good

unless it keeps you from the better

Nothing wrong with sincerity

unless sincerely wrong

Nothing wrong with helping the poor

unless it becomes your idol

Nothing wrong with caring

unless your love is dead and gone
