Tobit 4:10 In-Context

8 If thou hast abundance, give alms accordingly; if thou have but a little, be not afraid to give according to that little.

9 For thou layest up a good treasure for thyself against the day of necessity,

10 because almsgiving doth deliver from death and suffereth not to come into darkness.

11 For alms is a good gift unto all who give it in the sight of the Most High.

12 "Beware of all whoredom, my son. And chiefly take a wife of the seed of thy fathers, and take not a foreign woman for a wife, who is not of thy father's tribe; for we are the children of the prophets Noah, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Remember, my son, that our fathers from the beginning, even they all married wives of their own kindred and were blessed in their children, and their seed shall inherit the land.
