"Through the presence of three things, monks, a faithful son of good family generates much merit.
Which three?
Through the presence of faith, monks, a faithful son of good family generates much merit.
Through the presence of a gift, monks, a faithful son of good family generates much merit.
Through the presence of those worthy of offerings, monks, a faithful son of good family generates much merit.
Through the presence of these three things, monks, a faithful son of good family generates much merit."
The first.
