6 For those who act with fidelity, all who practice righteousness, will prosper in their affairs.
7 “Give alms from your possessions. Do not turn your face away from any of the poor, so that God’s face will not be turned away from you.
8 Give in proportion to what you own. If you have great wealth, give alms out of your abundance; if you have but little, do not be afraid to give alms even of that little.
9 You will be storing up a goodly treasure for yourself against the day of adversity.
10 For almsgiving delivers from death and keeps one from entering into Darkness.
11 Almsgiving is a worthy offering in the sight of the Most High for all who practice it.
12 “Be on your guard, son, against every kind of fornication, and above all, marry a woman of your own ancestral family. Do not marry a foreign woman, one who is not of your father’s tribe, because we are descendants of the prophets, who were the first to speak the truth. Noah prophesied first, then Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, our ancestors from the beginning of time. Son, remember that all of them took wives from among their own kindred and were blessed in their children, and that their posterity would inherit the land.
