If you give a Christian so much as a glass of water, you get a reward. So what are you waiting for?

    Anyone who assists one of God's elect will not lose their reward.

    Conversely, those who abuse will not escape the consequences.

    It means to give a glass of water to someone you might get associated with , and therefore persecuted yourself .

    False. It's a call to followers to show hospitality, which the least form of hospitality is to give a cup of cold water, to strangers because some of these have entertained angels without knowing it.

    I do better than that. When the JW's come to my house, I ask them to sit in my garden for a chat and offer them a beer.

    You can work your arms off too, and get a "praise the lord" in return too. Christians are by and large an ungrateful lot. Especially if you aren't a rabid christer.

    My dad give a couple of Christians a job working on a burnt house that we own. (It wasn't burnt originally...) We were rewarded with attitude and a creeped-out neighbor lady, because the one guy kept going over to her house to use the bathroom while her boyfriend wasn't home.

    You are a bit mixed up. If a Christian "offers anyone a glass of water" (that is, if they show kindness and caring for someone), they will receive their reward.
