The Testaments of the XII Patriarchs · Restored Names Edition · first paragraph
1But do not ye, my children, wear two faces like unto them, of goodness and of wickedness; but cleave unto goodness only, for Elohim (God) hath His habitation therein, and men desire it.
2But from wickedness flee away, destroying the (evil) inclination by your good works; for they that are double-faced serve not Elohim (God), but their own lusts, so that they may please Beliar and men like unto themselves.
