Tobit 12:9 In-Context

7 It is good to guard the secret of a king, but gloriously to reveal the works of God. Do good, and evil will not overtake you.

8 Prayer is good when accompanied by fasting, almsgiving, and righteousness. A little with righteousness is better than much with wrongdoing. It is better to give alms than to treasure up gold.

9 For almsgiving delivers from death, and it will purge away every sin. Those who perform deeds of charity and of righteousness will have fulness of life;

10 but those who commit sin are the enemies of their own lives.

11 "I will not conceal anything from you. I have said, `It is good to guard the secret of a king, but gloriously to reveal the works of God.'
