Sirach 7:40 In all thy works remember thy last end, and thou shalt never sin.

End. Greek, "things;" death, judgment, and either hell or heaven. (Haydock) --- This consideration is a powerful preservative against sin. (Worthington) --- For who would dare to offend his judge, if he believed that the next moment he would be arraigned before his dreadful tribunal? (Calmet) --- "We die daily," etc. (St. Jerome, ad Heliod.)
