Benjamin summarizes his intent. His people have received a remission of sin through the Spirit. In order to retain…a remission of [their] sins from day to day" they must learn to impart of their substance to the poor. Thus the entire focus of his exhortation to remain guiltless or sinless lies in the sharing of substance. This is very understandable from Benjamin’s social context, but is certainly not the only thing modern man must learn to do to remain guiltless. There are spiritual laws that we must obey above and beyond the sharing of substance, but for Benjamin’s people, this was the most critical law for their communal future.
