{10:30} He who works, and so abounds in all things, is better than he who boasts, and so lacks bread.
{10:31} Son, preserve your soul in meekness, and give it honor according to its merit.
{10:32} Who will justify one who sins in his soul? And who will honor one who dishonors his soul?
{10:33} The poor man is glorified by his discipline and fear. And there is a man who is honored because of his substance.
{10:34} But if someone is glorified in poverty, how much more in substance? And whoever is glorified in substance, let him fear poverty.
