⁷ They did not have to give any account of the money which was handed to them, for they made use of it with good faith.

¹⁵ And they did not get any statement of accounts from the men to whom the money was given for the workmen, for they made use of it with good faith.

² And it is right for such servants to be safe persons.

⁵ My loved one, you are doing a good work in being kind to those brothers who come from other places;

² And the things which I have said to you before a number of witnesses, give to those of the faith, so that they may be teachers of others.

²⁰ And so that no man might be able to say anything against us in the business of this giving which has been put into our hands:

²¹ For the business has been so ordered by us as to have the approval, not only of the Lord, but of men.

¹⁰ He who is true in a little, is true in much; he who is false in small things, is false in great.

¹¹ If, then, you have not been true in your use of the wealth of this life, who will give into your care the true wealth?

¹² And if you have not been true in your care of the property of other people, who will give you that which is yours?

²⁰ A man of good faith will have great blessing, but one attempting to get wealth quickly will not go free from punishment.

² I made my brother Hanani, and Hananiah, the ruler of the tower, responsible for the government of Jerusalem: for he was a man of good faith, fearing God more than most.

¹⁴ And when the work was done, they took the rest of the money to the king and Jehoiada, and it was used for making the vessels for the house of the Lord, all the vessels needed for the offerings, the spoons and the vessels of gold and silver. And as long as Jehoiada was living, the regular burned offerings were offered in the house of the Lord.

⁵ And said to Moses, The people are giving much more than is needed for the work which the Lord has given us orders to do.

⁶ So Moses made an order and had it given out through all the tents, saying, Let no man or woman make any more offerings for the holy place. So the people were kept from giving more.
