Translation
"Confiscation is taking and keeping things which belong to someone else; and when we do not give alms, we are punished in the same way as those who are confiscating."
Greek original · Adler’s text
Ἐλεημοσύνη· ὅτι ἀποστέρησίς ἐστι, τὸ τὰ ἀλλότρια λαβόντας κατέχειν· καὶ ὅταν ἐλεημοσύνην μὴ παράσχωμεν, ἐν ἴσῳ τοῖς ἀποστεροῦσι κολαζόμεθα.
