“Sell yere plenishin, and gie awmons: mak to ye wallets that dinna wax auld; gear nevir‐failin aboon! whaur nae reiver comes nar, nor moth dis destroy!
And, listenin to him, Jesus said, “Ae thing, yet, dae ye want! Sell ye aʼ things that ye hae, and divide wiʼ the needy, and yeʼse hae gude gear in Heeven! And come! follow ye me!”
“Bestow, and it sal be bestown upon you: gude measur, pangʼd doon and jouslʼt thegither, and skailin ower, sal they gie intil yere lap: for wiʼ yere ain measur that ye measur sal it be gien back to ye.”
“In aʼ things I gied ye to ken that sae workin it behoves us to gie strenth to the feckless; and to keep in mind the words oʼ the Lord Jesus, whan he said, ‘Happy, raither, to gie than to get!’ ”
For ye understaun the love oʼ oor Lord Jesus Christ, in that he made his sel puir for yere sakes (thoʼ he was rich!) that ye, throwe his poortith, micht be made rich.
