Sell ye those things that ye have in possession [or that ye wield], and give ye alms. And make to you satchels that wax not old, treasure that faileth not in heavens, whither a thief nigh-eth not, neither moth destroyeth.

He that stole, now steal he not; but more rather travail he in working with his hands that that is good, that he have whereof he shall give to the needy.
A clean religion, and unwemmed with God and the Father, is this, to visit fatherless and motherless children, and widows in their tribulation, and to keep himself undefouled from this world.
