Ben Sira 28:6 In-Context

4 You yourself are a sinner, and if you won't forgive another person, you have no right to pray that the Lord will forgive your sins.

5 If you cannot get rid of your anger, you have no hope of forgiveness - you are only a human being.

6 Think about it! Some day you will die, and your body will decay. So give up hate and live by the Lord's commands,

7 the commands in the covenant of the Most High. Instead of getting upset over your neighbor's faults, overlook them.

8 If you stay out of arguments, you will not sin so much, because a hot temper gets them started.
