Alms Flashcards

1
Q

“ Give alms of thy substance; and when thou givest alms, let not thine eye be envious, neither turn thy face from any poor, and the face of God shall not be turned away from thee.
If thou hast abundance, give alms accordingly: if thou have but a little, be not afraid to give according to that little:
For thou layest up good treasure for thyself against the day of necessity.”

Q

“ When thou wilt do good, know to whom thou doesn’t it; so shalt thou be thanked for thy benefits.
Do good to the godly man, and thou shalt fine a recompense; and if not from him, yet from the most High.
There can no good come to him that is always occupied in evil, not to him that giveth no alms.
Give to the godly man, and help not a sinner.
Do well unto him that is lowly, but give not to the ungodly: hold back thy bread, and give it not unto him, lest he overmaster thee thereby: for [else] thou shalt receive twice as much evil for all the good thou shalt have done unto him.”
