² When therefore thou doest alms, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.

¹⁶ A man's gift maketh room for him, And bringeth him before great men.

³⁰ Give to every one that asketh thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.

⁸ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons: freely ye received, freely give.

²¹ The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again; But the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.

³ And if I bestow all my goods to feed `the poor', and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing.

¹⁴ But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.

⁸ And God is able to make all grace abound unto you; that ye, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work:

¹⁰ Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye grieved; for the joy of Jehovah is your strength.

⁴ Delight thyself also in Jehovah; And he will give thee the desires of thy heart.

¹⁰ Bring ye the whole tithe into the store-house, that there may be food in my house, and prove me now herewith, saith Jehovah of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough `to receive it'.

⁷ `Let' each man `do' according as he hath purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

⁹ Honor Jehovah with thy substance, And with the first-fruits of all thine increase:

¹¹ ye being enriched in everything unto all liberality, which worketh through us thanksgiving to God.

²⁶ There is that coveteth greedily all the day long; But the righteous giveth and withholdeth not.

²⁵ The liberal soul shall be made fat; And he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

²⁷ Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, When it is in the power of thy hand to do it.

³⁸ give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall they give into your bosom. For with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again.

¹² For if the readiness is there, `it is' acceptable according as `a man' hath, not according as `he' hath not.

⁹ Open thy mouth, judge righteously, And minister justice to the poor and needy.

³ But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

⁴ that thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee.

⁵ And when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.

¹⁰ And he that supplieth seed to the sower and bread for food, shall supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness:

²¹ Jesus said unto him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell that which thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
