The Testaments of the XII Patriarchs 106 — Asher Chapter 4

The Testaments of the XII Patriarchs · Restored Names Edition · first paragraph

1For good men, even they that are of single face, though they be thought by them that are double-faced to sin, are just before Elohim (God).

2For many in killing the wicked do two works, of good and evil; but the whole is good, because he hath uprooted and destroyed that which is evil.

3One man hateth the merciful and unjust man, and the man who committeth adultery and fasteth: this, too, has a twofold aspect, but the 'whole' work is good, because he followeth Yahuah's (Lord's) example, in that he accepteth not the seeming good as the genuine good.

4Another desireth not to see a good day with them that riot, lest he defile his body and pollute his soul: this, too, is double-faced, but the whole is good.

5For such men are like to stags and to hinds, because in the manner of wild animals they seem to be unclean, but they are altogether clean; because 'they walk' in zeal for Yahuah (Lord) and abstain from what Elohim (God) also hateth and forbiddeth by His commandments, warding off the evil from the good.
