4:3. When God shall take my soul, thou shalt bury my body: and thou shalt honour thy mother all the days of her life:
4:4. For thou must be mindful what and how great perils she suffered for thee in her womb.
4:5. And when she also shall have ended the time of her life, bury her by me.
4:6. And all the days of thy life have God in thy mind: and take heed thou never consent to sin, nor transgress the commandments of the Lord our God.
4:7. Give alms out of thy substance, and turn not away thy face from any poor person: for so it shall come to pass that the face of the Lord shall not be turned from thee.
4:8. According to thy ability be merciful.
4:9. If thou have much give abundantly: if thou have little, take care even so to bestow willingly a little.
4:10. For thus thou storest up to thyself a good reward for the day of necessity.
4:11. For alms deliver from all sin, and from death, and will not suffer the soul to go into darkness.
4:12. Alms shall be a great confidence before the most high God, to all them that give it.
