3
When God shall take my soul, thou shalt bury my body: and thou shalt honour thy mother all the days of her life:
4
For thou must be mindful what and how great perils she suffered for thee in her womb.
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.
12
Alms shall be a great confidence before the most high God, to all them that give it.
13
Take heed to keep thyself, my son, from all fornication, and beside thy wife never endure to know a crime.
