Tobit 4:6-8
New Catholic Bible

6 For if you lead an honest life, you will be successful, as will all those who live uprightly.[a]

7 “Distribute alms from your possessions. If you do not avert your gaze from anyone who is poor, God will never turn his face away from you. 8 Your almsgiving should be in proportion to your means. If you have been blessed with great abundance, give much; if you possess little, do not be afraid to give even some of that.
