Sirach 35: 1- 12

35:1 Whoever observes the law multiplies oblations.

35:2 It is a salutary sacrifice to attend to the commandments and to withdraw from all iniquity.

35:3 And to depart from injustice is to offer a propitiatory sacrifice for injustices and a supplication for sins.

35:4 Whoever gives thanks, offers a gift of fine flour, and whoever acts with mercy, offers a sacrifice.

35:5 To withdraw from iniquity is well-pleasing to the Lord. And to withdraw from injustice is a supplication for sins.

35:6 You should not appear empty before the sight of the Lord.

35:7 For all these things are to be done because of the commandment of God.

35:8 The oblation of the just fattens the altar, and is a fragrance of sweetness in the sight of the Most High.

35:9 The sacrifice of the just is acceptable, and the Lord will never forget the memorial of it.

35:10 Render glory to God with a good heart. And you should not reduce the first-fruits of your hands.

35:11 With every gift, have a cheerful countenance, and sanctify your tithes with exultation.

35:12 Give to the Most High according to his gifts to you, and act with a good eye toward the creations of your hands.

An Soiscéal Naofa de réir Mharcais 10: 28-31

10:28 Agus thosaigh Peadar ag rádh leis, "Féach, d’fhágamar gach ní agus leanamar thú.”
10:29 Mar fhreagra, Dúirt Íosa: “Amen a deirim libh, Níl aon duine a d'fhág an teach ina dhiaidh, nó deartháireacha, nó deirfiúracha, nó athair, nó máthair, nó leanaí, nó talamh, ar mo shonsa agus ar son an tSoiscéil,
10:30 nach bhfaighidh céad oiread, anois san am seo: tithe, agus deartháireacha, agus deirfiúracha, agus máithreacha, agus leanaí, agus talamh, le géarleanúintí, agus san aois atá le teacht an bheatha shíoraí.
10:31 Ach beidh go leor de na chéad cheann deireanach, agus beidh an duine deiridh ar dtús.”
