Tobit 4:5-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ And when she also shall have ended the time of her life, bury her by me.

⁶ And all the days of thy life have God in thy mind: and take heed thou never consent to sin, nor transgress the commandments of the Lord our God.

⁷ Give alms out of thy substance, and turn not away thy face from any poor person: for so it shall come to pass that the face of the Lord shall not be turned from thee.

⁸ According to thy ability be merciful.

⁹ If thou have much give abundantly: if thou have a little, take care even so to bestow willingly a little.

¹⁰ For thus thou storest up to thyself a good reward for the day of necessity.

¹¹ For alms deliver from all sin, and from death, and will not suffer the soul to go into darkness.
