Chapter 2. 2:1 And this is the second commandment of the teaching. 2:2 You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not corrupt boys, you shall not commit fornication, you shall not steal, you shall not deal in magic, you shall do no sorcery, you shall not murder a child by abortion nor kill them when born, you shall not covet your neighbour's goods, you shall not perjure yourself, you shall not bear false witness, you shall not speak evil, you shall not cherish a grudge, you shall not be double-minded nor double-tongued; 2:3 for the double tongue is a snare of death. 2:4 Your word shall not be false or empty, but fulfilled by action. 2:5 You shall not be avaricious nor a plunderer nor a hypocrite nor illtempered nor proud. 2:6 You shall not devise an evil plan against your neighbour. 2:7 You shall not hate any man, but some you shall reprove, and for others you shall pray, and others you shall love more than your life.
Chapter 3. 3:1 My child, flee from every evil and everything that resembles it. 3:2 Do not be easily angry, for anger leads to murder, nor jealous nor contentious nor wrathful; 3:3 for of all these things cause murders. 3:4 My child, do not be lustful, for lust leads to fornication, nor foulspeaking, nor one who stares; 3:5 for all these things cause adulteries. 3:6 My child, do not be a dealer in omens, since it leads to idolatry, nor an enchanter nor an astrologer nor a magician, neither be willing to look at them; 3:7 for all these things cause idolatry. 3:8 My child, do not be a liar, since lying leads to theft; nor covetous, nor proud; 3:9 for all these things cause thefts. 3:10 My child, do not be a murmurer, since it leads to blasphemy, neither self-willed neither a thinker of evil thoughts; 3:11 for all these things cause blasphemies. 3:12 But be meek, since the meek shall inherit the earth.
