| Tobit 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. Proverbs 3:9.; Ecclesiasticus 4:1.; Ecclesiasticus 14:13.; Luke 14:13. | Substance. Be not liberal of another’s property. Greek adds, "and let not thy eye be envious, when thou givest alms." Do it generously. (Calmet) --- The same doctrine of the reward of good works, occurs [in] Daniel 4:24. (Worthington) |
