{He is} ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed {is} blessed. {ever: Heb. all the day}

He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with {his} hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. {to give: or, to distribute}

I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.

For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God {is} witness:

Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask {them} not again.

Therefore, as ye abound in every {thing, in} faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and {in} all diligence, and {in} your love to us, {see} that ye abound in this grace also.

(As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.

Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion {is} vain.

Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask {them} not again.
