Tobit 12:8-10

Good News Translation

^8 (A)It is better to pray sincerely and to please God by helping the poor than to be rich and dishonest. It is better to give to the poor than to store up gold. ^9 (B)Such generosity will save you from death and will wash away all your sins. Those who give to the poor will live full lives, ¹⁰ but those who live a life of sin and wickedness are their own worst enemies.
