I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.

How about: If therefore, I can show any kindness, or do some good to any fellow human, let me do it now....

or, more clunkily:

If therefore some opportunity arises to show a kindness or do some good to any fellow human, let me do it now....
