Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 12:1-3 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

1. When you do a good deed, make sure you know who is benefiting from it; then what you do will not be wasted.

2. You will be repaid for any kindness you show to a devout person. If he doesn't repay you, the Most High will.

3. No good ever comes to a person who gives comfort to the wicked; it is not a righteous act.
