Sirach 38:10

“So also in Solomon: ‘Riches are good unto him that hath no sin on his conscience;’ and again in the same book, ‘Leave off from sin, and order thine hands aright, and cleanse thy heart from wickedness.’” — editor's note: Ecclus. xxxviii. 10.

“A man may now indeed “leave off from sin,” when in his onward course he departs from it, and is renewed day by day; and he may “order his hands,” and direct them to works of mercy, and “cleanse his heart from all wickedness,”—he may be so merciful that what remains may be forgiven him by free pardon.” — editor's note: Ecclus. xxxviii. 10.
