1Ye see, my children, how that there are two 'in all things', one against the other, and the one is hidden by the other: 'in wealth (is hidden) covetousness, in conviviality drunkenness, in laughter grief, in wedlock profligacy'.
2Death succeedeth to life, [dishonour to glory,] night to day, and darkness to light; [and all things are under the day, just things under life, 'unjust things under death';] wherefore also eternal life awaiteth death.
3Nor may it be said that truth is a lie, nor right wrong; for all truth is under the light, 'even as all things are under God'.
4All these things, therefore, I proved in my life, and I wandered not from the truth of Yahuah (Lord), and I searched out the commandments of the El Elyon (Most High), walking according to all my strength with singleness of face unto that which is good.
