### How one must not despise the Humble, but give to them truly, so that thou mayest not be accursed before God

[¶1] 1 When a man clothes the naked and feeds the hungry, he gets a recompense from God.

[¶2] 2 If his heart murmurs, he works for himself a double evil: he works destruction to that which he gives and there shall be no reward for it:. And the poor man, when his heart is satisfied or his flesh is clothed and he acts contemptuously, he destroys the effect of all his endurance of poverty and shall not gain the blessing of a recompense’.

[¶3] 4 For the Lord hates every contemptuous and proud-speaking 1 man: and likewise every lying word: and that which is covered with unrighteousness. And it is eut with the sharpness of a deadly sword, and thrown into the fire, and burns for ever)
