Ben Sira 12:3

3 No good comes to one who persists in evil or to one who does not give alms.

Ben Sira 12:3 In-Context

1 If you do good, know to whom you do it, and you will be thanked for your good deeds.

2 Do good to the devout, and you will be repaid— if not by them, certainly by the Most High.

3 No good comes to one who persists in evil or to one who does not give alms.

4 Give to the devout, but do not help the sinner.

5 Do good to the humble, but do not give to the ungodly; hold back their bread, and do not give it to them, for by means of it they might subdue you; then you will receive twice as much evil for all the good you have done to them.
