shouldest give. 18 Thou shalt love, as the apple of thine eye, everyone that speaketh unto thee the Word of the Lord. Call to thy remembrance, day and night, the future judgment. 19 Thou shalt seek out every day, the persons of the righteous; and both consider and go about to exhort others by the word, and meditate how thou mayest save a soul. 20 Thou shaft also labour with thy hands to give to the poor, that thy sins may be forgiven thee, Thou shalt not deliberate whether thou shouldst give; nor having given, murmur at it. 21 Give to everyone that asks so shalt thou know who is the good rewarder of thy gifts. 22 Keep what thou hast received; thou shalt neither add to it nor take from it. 23 Let the wicked be always thy aversion.
