Final answer:

The creature questions Victor's understanding of scripture and implies Victor's philanthropic actions are small.

Step-by-step explanation:

The best paraphrase of the words spoken by the creature to Victor in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is: 'Do I not quote correctly? I remember another line that may clarify my meaning: 'Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of the least of these, ye did it unto me.' You're a Deist, right? I grew up with the teachings of the Bible. Now, Doctor, what do you have to say after the world has spoken? You do small acts of kindness, don't you? Here, boy, this gentleman can teach you how to cut coal better, or help you find your destiny. Go on, May!'
