Give to the merciful and uphold not the sinner: God will repay vengeance to the ungodly and to sinners, and keep them against the day of vengeance.
Give to religious people, but don't help sinners.
Give to the good but refuse the sinner;
Give to the devout man, but never aid the sinner.
Give to the devout, but do not help the sinner.
Give to the devout, but do not help the sinner.
Give to the devout, but do not help the sinner.
Give to the devout, but do not help the sinner.
Give to the godly man, but do not help the sinner.
Give to the godly man, but do not help the sinner.
Give thou to a merciful man, and receive thou not a sinner, that is, (one) obstinate in sins; God shall yield vengeance both to unfaithful men and to sinners, keeping them in the day of vengeance. Give thou to a good man, and receive thou not a sinner. [Give to the merciful, and undertake, or receive thou not the sinner; and to unpious and sinners he shall yield vengeance, keeping them in the day of vengeance. Give to the good, and receive thou not the sinner.]
