1
If you do a kindness, know to whom you do it, and you will be thanked for your good deeds.
2
Do good to a godly man, and you will be repaid -- if not by him, certainly by the Most High.
3
No good will come to the man who persists in evil or to him who does not give alms.
4
Give to the godly man, but do not help the sinner.
5
Do good to the humble, but do not give to the ungodly; hold back his bread, and do not give it to him, lest by means of it he subdue you; for you will receive twice as much evil for all the good which you do to him.
6
For the Most High also hates sinners and will inflict punishment on the ungodly.
7
Give to the good man, but do not help the sinner.
8
A friend will not be known in prosperity, nor will an enemy be hidden in adversity.
9
A man's enemies are grieved when he prospers, and in his adversity even his friend will separate from him.
