Ben Sira 35:3

3 Keeping away from sin will please the Lord and make atonement for sin.

Ben Sira 35:3 In-Context

1 Keeping the Law is worth many offerings; it is a fellowship offering in itself.

2 Returning a kindness is like a grain offering; giving to the poor is like a thanksgiving offering.

3 Keeping away from sin will please the Lord and make atonement for sin.

4 But don't come to the Temple without an offering;

5 the Law requires that you bring one.
