8 Blessed is the rich man who is found to be without blemish. And blessed is he who has not gone after gold, nor placed his hope in money or treasures.
9 Who is he? For we should praise him. For he has done wonderful things in his life.
10 He has been tested by it, and has become perfect; he will have eternal glory. He was able to transgress, but he has not transgressed. He was able to do evil, but he has not done evil.
11 Therefore, his good things are established in the Lord, and the entire Church of the saints will proclaim his almsgiving.
12 Are you seated at a great table? You should not open your mouth over it first.
13 You should not speak in this way: "There are many things that are upon it."
14 Remember that a wicked eye is evil.
