New Testament

Sirach 35:1-6 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. Whoever observes the law multiplies oblations.

2. It is a salutary sacrifice to attend to the commandments and to withdraw from all iniquity.

3. And to depart from injustice is to offer a propitiatory sacrifice for injustices and a supplication for sins.

4. Whoever gives thanks, offers a gift of fine flour, and whoever acts with mercy, offers a sacrifice.

5. To withdraw from iniquity is well-pleasing to the Lord. And to withdraw from injustice is a supplication for sins.

6. You should not appear empty before the sight of the Lord.
