☦ Orthodox Church: Deuterocanonical Book of Sirach 7:36-40
Sirach 7:36–4036 And stretch out thy hand to the poor, that thy expiation and thy blessing may be perfected.
37 A gift hath grace in the sight of all the living, and restrain not grace from the dead.
38 Be not wanting in comforting them that weep, and walk with them that mourn.
39 Be not slow to visit the sick: for by these things thou shalt be confirmed in love.
40 In all thy works remember thy last end, and thou shalt never sin.
