6 Then he called them both privily, and said unto them, Bless God, and give him thanks in the sight of all that live, for the good things which he hath done unto you, to bless and praise his name. 7 The words of God show forth to all men with honour and be not slack to give him thanks. It is good to keep close the secret of a king, but to confess and reveal the works of God. And confess ye them with honour. 8 Do the good, and evil shall not find you. Better is prayer with truth, and alms with righteousness than riches with unrighteousness; it is better to give alms than to lay up gold: almsgiving doth deliver from death, and it purges away all sin. 9 They that do alms shall be fed with life; 10 they that commit sin and unrighteousness are enemies to their own life.

His revelation of his own being and office, vv. 11–15.
