1 And now, my children, keep your hearts from every injustice, which the Lord hates. Just as a man asks for his own soul from God, so let him do to every living soul, 2 because I know all things, how in the great time many dwellings are prepared for men, good for the good, and bad for the bad, many without number. 3 Blessed are those who enter the good houses, for in the bad there is no peace or return. 4 Listen, my children, small and great! When man puts a good thought in his heart, brings gifts from his labors before the Lord's face and his hands did not make them, then the Lord will turn away his face from the labor of his hand, and he cannot find the labor of his hands. 5 And if his hands made it, but his heart complains, and his heart does not stop complaining constantly, he has no advantage.
