7Many therefore haue refused to lend for other mens ill dealing, fearing to be defrauded. 8Yet haue thou patience with a man in poore estate, and delay not to shew him mercy. 9Helpe the poore for the commandements sake, and turne him not away because of his pouertie. 10Lose thy money for thy brother and thy friend, and let it not rust vnder a stone to be lost. 11Lay vp thy treasure according to the commandements of the most high, and it shall bring thee more profite then golde.
