Ben Sira 3:14

14 The Lord will not forget the kindness you show to your father; it will help you make up for your sins.

Ben Sira 3:14 In-Context

12 My child, take care of your father when he grows old; give him no cause for worry as long as he lives.

13 Be sympathetic even if his mind fails him; don't look down on him just because you are strong and healthy.

14 The Lord will not forget the kindness you show to your father; it will help you make up for your sins.

15 When you are in trouble, the Lord will remember your kindness and will help you; your sins will melt away like frost in warm sunshine.

16 Those who abandon their parents or give them cause for anger may as well be cursing the Lord; they are already under the Lord's curse.
