⁴² Give to him who comes with a request, and keep not your property from him who would for a time make use of it.

⁷ Let every man do after the purpose of his heart; not giving with grief, or by force: for God takes pleasure in a ready giver.

³⁰ Give to everyone who comes with a request, and if a man takes away your property, make no attempt to get it back again.

² When then you give money to the poor, do not make a noise about it, as the false-hearted men do in the Synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory from men. Truly, I say to you, They have their reward.

³ But when you give money, let not your left hand see what your right hand does:

⁴ So that your giving may be in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.

⁵ And when you make your prayers, be not like the false-hearted men, who take pleasure in getting up and saying their prayers in the Synagogues and at the street turnings so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.

⁴⁰ And the King will make answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, Because you did it to the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.

¹³ If, then, you who are evil are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who make request to him?

³⁸ Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, crushed down, full and running over, they will give to you. For in the same measure as you give, it will be given to you again.

⁹ Give honour to the Lord with your wealth, and with the first-fruits of all your increase:

¹⁰ So your store-houses will be full of grain, and your vessels overflowing with new wine.

¹¹ My son, do not make your heart hard against the Lord's teaching; do not be made angry by his training:

¹⁵ If a brother or a sister is without clothing and in need of the day's food,

¹⁶ And one of you says to them, Go in peace, be warm and full of food; but you do not give them the things of which their bodies have need, what profit is there in this?

¹⁷ Even so faith without works is dead.

¹⁸ But a man may say, You have faith and I have works; let me see your faith without your works, and I will make my faith clear to you by my works.

¹³ He whose ears are stopped at the cry of the poor, will himself get no answer to his cry for help.

⁵ But if any man among you is without wisdom, let him make his request to God, who gives freely to all without an unkind word, and it will be given to him.

²⁵ He who gives blessing will be made fat, but the curser will himself be cursed.

⁵ All is well for the man who is kind and gives freely to others; he will make good his cause when he is judged.

²⁷ Do not keep back good from those who have a right to it, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.

¹⁰ And he who gives seed for putting into the field and bread for food, will take care of the growth of your seed, at the same time increasing the fruits of your righteousness;

¹¹ Your wealth being increased in everything, with a simple mind, causing praise to God through us.

²⁹ He gives power to the feeble, increasing the strength of him who has no force.

¹² For if there is a ready mind, a man will have God's approval in the measure of what he has, and not of what he has not.

¹⁰ Let your tenths come into the store-house so that there may be food in my house, and put me to the test by doing so, says the Lord of armies, and see if I do not make the windows of heaven open and send down such a blessing on you that there is no room for it.

⁶ But in the Writings it says, He who puts in only a small number of seeds, will get in the same; and he who puts them in from a full hand, will have produce in full measure from them.

⁷ Let every man do after the purpose of his heart; not giving with grief, or by force: for God takes pleasure in a ready giver.

⁸ And God is able to give you all grace in full measure; so that ever having enough of all things, you may be full of every good work:

⁹ As it is said in the Writings, He has sent out far and wide, he has given to the poor; his righteousness is for ever.

¹⁰ And he who gives seed for putting into the field and bread for food, will take care of the growth of your seed, at the same time increasing the fruits of your righteousness;

¹¹ Your wealth being increased in everything, with a simple mind, causing praise to God through us.

¹² For this work of giving not only takes care of the needs of the saints, but is the cause of much praise to God;

¹³ For when, through this work of giving, they see what you are, they give glory to God for the way in which you have given yourselves to the good news of Christ, and for the wealth of your giving to them and to all;

²⁴ A man may give freely, and still his wealth will be increased; and another may keep back more than is right, but only comes to be in need.

²⁵ He who gives blessing will be made fat, but the curser will himself be cursed.

²⁶ He who keeps back grain will be cursed by the people; but a blessing will be on the head of him who lets them have it for a price.
