38 And when the priest had imparted unto them the word of God, they all returned again diligently unto their labors;

39 And the priest, not esteeming himself above his hearers, for the preacher was no better than the hearer, neither was the teacher any better than the learner, And thus they were all equal and they did all labor, every man according to his strength.

40 And they did impart of their substance, every man according to that which he had, to the poor and the needy and the sick and the afflicted;

44 Abundance of flocks and herds and fatlings of every kind, And also abundance of grain and of gold and of silver and of precious things, And abundance of silk and fine-twined linen and all manner of good homely cloth.

45 And thus in their prosperous circumstances they did not send away any which was naked, or that was hungry, or that was athirst, or that was sick, or that had not been nourished;

46 And they did not set their hearts upon riches; Therefore, they were liberal to all - both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, whether out of the church or in the church - Having no respect to persons as to those who stood in need.

48 For those who did not belong to their church did indulge themselves in sorceries and in idolatry or idleness and in babblings and in envyings and strife,
