Good News Translation makes paragraph breaks at verses 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19, but these are not necessary unless translators feel that such breaks would be natural in their language.

Give some of your food … some of your clothing: In a number of languages the inclusion of the phrase some of your … will seem unnatural and repetitive. In such cases, the model of Good News Translation will be simpler: “Give food to the hungry and clothes to people in need.”

For a comment on the naked, see 1.17.

Give all your surplus as alms: Good News Translation “If you are prosperous, give generously” diminishes the force of the command, which is actually “Anything you have over and above what you need, give away.” This is the meaning of New Revised Standard Version.

Do not let your eye begrudge your giving of alms is in Greek word for word the same as in 4.7, although neither Good News Translation nor New Revised Standard Version reflects this. “Give generously” and “Give from a heart full of generosity” are possible alternative models.
