Amen, I agree with that. Deeds cannot take away sins. Only the One sacrifice that was made, by God's righteousness. Yet I wonder if there is not some deeper meaning here I am missing. For instance, if the translation should not rather have been the giving of alms protects one from the attacks of the enemy which causes us to sin (as a form of living in God's righteousness.) But I will have to read the original version before I can say for certain.
