Tobit 4:5-7
New Catholic Bible

5 “Be faithful to the Lord all the days of your life, my son, and never succumb to the desire to sin or to transgress his commandments. Do good works all the days of your life, and do not walk in evil ways. 6 For if you lead an honest life, you will be successful, as will all those who live uprightly.[a]

7 “Distribute alms from your possessions. If you do not avert your gaze from anyone who is poor, God will never turn his face away from you.
