Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 31:10

τίς ἐδοκιμάσθη ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ ἐτελειώθη; καὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ εἰς καύχησιν. τίς ἐδύνατο παραβῆναι καὶ οὐ παρέβη, καὶ ποιῆσαι κακὰ καὶ οὐκ ἐποίησε;
King James Version (KJV)

Who hath been tried thereby, and found perfect? then let him glory. Who might offend, and hath not offended? or done evil, and hath not done it?

Modern English

Who has been tested by wealth and found blameless? Let him be praised. Who could have taken advantage but did not? Who could have done wrong but refrained?
