5 My child, be mindful of the Lord our God all your days, and let not your will be set to sin and to transgress his commandments: do righteousness all the days of your life, and follow not the ways of unrighteousness.
6 For if you do the truth, your doings shall prosperously succeed to you, and to all them that do righteousness.
7 Give alms of your substance; and when you give alms, let not your eye be envious: turn not away your face from any poor man, and the face of God shall not be turned away from you.
8 As your substance is, give alms of it according to your abundance: if you have little, be not afraid to give alms according to that little:
9 for you lay up a good treasure for yourself against the day of necessity:
10 because alms delivers from death, and suffers not to come into darkness.
11 Alms is a good gift in the sight of the Most High for all that give it.
