29 Fear the master with all your soul;

and revere his priests.

30 With all your strength love him who made you.

Don’t forsake his ministers.

31 Fear the master and honour the priest.

Give him his portion, even as it is commanded you:

the first fruits, the trespass offering, the gift of the shoulders,

the sacrifice of sanctification, and the first fruits of holy things.

32 Also stretch out your hand to the poor man,

that your blessing may be complete.

33 A gift has grace in the sight of every living man.

Don’t withhold grace for a dead man.

34 Don’t avoid those who weep,

and mourn with those who mourn.

35 Don’t be slow to visit a sick man,

for by such things you will gain love.

36 In all your words, remember eternity,

and you will never sin.
