28
If thou hast a wife according to thy soul, cast her not off: and to her that is hateful, trust not thyself. With thy whole heart,
29
Honour thy father, and forget not the groanings of thy mother:
30
Remember that thou hadst not been born but through them: and make a return to them as they have done for thee.
31
With all thy soul fear the Lord, and reverence his priests.
32
With all thy strength love him that made thee: and forsake not his ministers.
33
Honour God with all thy soul, and give honour to the priests, and purify thyself with thy arms.
34
Give them their portion, as it is commanded thee, of the firstfruits and of purifications: and for thy negligences purify thyself with a few.
35
Offer to the Lord the gift of thy shoulders, and the sacrifice of sanctification, and the firstfruits of the holy things:
36
And stretch out thy hand to the poor, that thy expiation and thy blessing may be perfected.
37
A gift hath grace in the sight of all the living, and restrain not grace from the dead.
38
Be not wanting in comforting them that weep, and walk with them that mourn.
