How that

Strengthen ye the weak hands, - The trembling knees, make ye firm:

We are bound, however, we, who are strong, the weakness of them who are not strong to be bearing, and not, unto ourselves, to give pleasure.

If, others, of this right, over you, are partaking, should not rather, we? nevertheless, we used not this right; but, all such things, do we conceal, - lest we should cause any hindrance unto the glad message of the Christ.

How happy is he that is attentive to the poor, In the day of calamity, will Yahweh deliver him:

A lender to Yahweh, is one who sheweth favour to the poor, and, his good deed, He will pay him back.

But, a noble man, noble things, hath devised, - And, he, upon noble things, will stand,

Is it not to break unto the hungry, thy bread, And the thrust-out oppressed, that thou bring into a home, - When thou seest one naked, that thou cover him, And from thine own flesh, shalt not hide thyself?
