Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.

And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.

A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.

And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.

And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.

Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.

But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.

Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
