1The inclination of the good man is not in the power of the deceit of the spirit of Beliar, for the angel of peace guideth his soul.
2'And' he gazeth not 'passionately' upon corruptible things, nor gathereth together riches 'through a desire of pleasure'.
3He delighteth not in pleasure, '[he grieveth not his neighbour], he sateth not himself with luxuries, he erreth not in the uplifting of the eyes', for Yahuah (Lord) is his portion.
4The good inclination receiveth not glory 'nor dishonour' from men, and it knoweth not any guile, or lie, or fighting or reviling; for Yahuah (Lord) dwelleth in him and lighteth up his soul, and he rejoiceth towards all men alway.
5The good mind hath not two tongues, of blessing and of cursing, of contumely and 'of honour', of sorrow and of joy, of quietness and of confusion, of hypocrisy and of truth, [of poverty and of wealth]; but it hath one 'disposition', uncorrupt and pure, concerning all men.
