Compassion needs to be balanced with an acknowledgment of sinful human nature. Paul understood that balance. He made collections for the poor, and showed great sympathy for them. Yet, he understood that laziness was a reality to contend with as well.
We can debate the relative balance of these two priorities, compassion and responsibility. But we need to be able to have the debate. When those who side with responsibility get called evil, then no debate can be had.
