Ben Sira 14:13

13 Before that day comes, be kind to your friends; be as generous as you can.

Ben Sira 14:13 In-Context

11 My child, treat yourself as well as you can, and bring worthy offerings to the Lord.
12 Remember that death is coming for you some day, and you haven't been told when that will be.
13 Before that day comes, be kind to your friends; be as generous as you can.
14 Don't deny yourself a single day's happiness. If there is something you want to do and it is lawful, go ahead!
15 Some day all that you have worked for will be divided up and given to others.
