1 The inclination of the good man is not in the power of the deception of the spirit of Beliar, for the angel of peace guides his soul.⁠a 2 He does not gaze with passion on perishable things, nor pile up riches out of a desire for pleasure. 3 He takes no delight in self-indulgence, he does not bring grief to his neighbor, he does not stuff himself with luxuries, he does not go astray through the lifting of his eyes, for the Lord is his portion. 4 The good inclination receives neither glory nor dishonor from people, and it knows no cunning, no lie, no fighting, and no insults, for the Lord dwells in him and lights up his soul, and he always rejoices toward everyone. 5 The good mind does not have two tongues, one of blessing and one of cursing, of insult and of honor, of sorrow and of joy, of calm and of confusion, of hypocrisy and of truth, of poverty and of wealth; instead it has one disposition, uncorrupted and pure, toward everyone. 6 It has no double sight or double hearing, for in everything he does, says, or sees, he knows that the Lord is watching his soul. 7 He keeps his mind clean, so that he will not be condemned by people or by God. 8 In the same way, the works of Beliar are double, and there is no integrity in them.
