menu_book Verse in Context

7 It is good to conceal the secret of a king, but to reveal gloriously the works of God. Do good, and evil won’t find you.

8 Good is prayer with fasting, alms, and righteousness. A little with righteousness is better than much with unrighteousness. It is better to give alms than to lay up gold.

9 Alms delivers from death, and it purges away all sin. Those who give alms and do righteousness will be filled with life;

10 but those who sin are enemies to their own life.

11 Surely I will conceal nothing from you. I have said, ‘It is good to conceal the secret of a king, but to reveal gloriously the works of God.’
