Tobit 4:5-11 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

5. But when she too will have completed the time of her life, bury her near me.

6. Yet, for all the days of your life, have God in your mind. And be careful that you never consent to sin, nor overlook the precepts of the Lord our God.

7. Give alms from your substance, and do not turn away your face from any pauper. For so it shall be that neither will the face of the Lord be turned away from you.

8. In whatever way that you are able, so shall you be merciful.

9. If you have much, distribute abundantly. If you have little, nevertheless strive to bestow a little freely.

10. For you store up for yourself a good reward for the day of necessity.

11. For almsgiving liberates from every sin and from death, and it will not suffer the soul to go into darkness.
