The Testaments of the XII Patriarchs 120 — Joseph Chapter 10

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

1Ye see, therefore, my children, how great things patience worketh, and prayer with fasting.

2So ye too, 'if ye follow after chastity and purity with patience and prayer with fasting in humility of heart, Yahuah (Lord) will dwell among you, because He loveth chastity.

3And wheresoever the El Elyon (Most High) dwelleth, even though envy, or slavery, or slander befalleth (a man), Yahuah (Lord) who dwelleth in him, for the sake of his chastity not only' delivereth him from evil, 'but also exalteth him even as me'.

4For in every way the man' is lifted up, whether in deed, or in word, or in thought.

5My brethren know how my father loved me, and yet I did not exalt myself 'in my mind': although I was a child, 'I had the fear of Elohim (God) in my heart'; for I knew that all things would pass away.
