7
It is good to keep close the secret of a king, but it is honorable to reveal the works of God. Do that which is good, and no evil shall touch you.
8
Prayer is good with fasting and almsgiving and righteousness; a little with righteousness is better than much with unrighteousness. It is better to give alms than to lay up gold,
9
for almsgiving doth deliver from death, and shall purge away all sin. Those that exercise almsgiving and righteousness shall be filled with life,
10
but they that sin are enemies to their own life.
11
"Surely I will keep close nothing from you. For I said it was good to keep close the secret of a king, but that it was honorable to reveal the works of God.
