“Bhikkhus, when three things are present, a clansman endowed with faith generates much merit. What three?
(1) When faith is present, a clansman endowed with faith generates much merit.
(2) When an object to be given is present, a clansman endowed with faith generates much merit.
(3) When those worthy of offerings are present, a clansman endowed with faith generates much merit.
When these three things are present, a clansman endowed with faith generates much merit.”
