Sirach 4:25 For there is a shame that bringeth sin, and there is a shame that bringeth glory and grace.

Sin. Thus to refuse asking for what is necessary to support life, would be criminal. --- Grace. When we refrain from doing things truly shameful, Ecclesiasticus 41. (Calmet) --- To abhor sin is glorious; but to yield to it, through shamefacedness, or not to reprove it, is vicious. (Worthington)
