Tobit 4:7-11

⁷ Give alms of thy substance; and when thou givest alms, let not thine eye be envious, neither turn thy face from any poor, and the face of God shall not be turned away from thee.

⁸ If thou hast abundance give alms accordingly: if thou have but a little, be not afraid to give according to that little:

⁹ For thou layest up a good treasure for thyself against the day of necessity.

¹⁰ Because that alms do deliver from death, and suffereth not to come into darkness.

¹¹ For alms is a good gift unto all that give it in the sight of the most High.
