The Testaments of the XII Patriarchs 138 — Benjamin Chapter 8

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

1And do ye, my children, flee evil-doing, envy, and hatred of brethren, and cleave to goodness and love.

2He that hath a pure mind in love, looketh not after a woman with a view to fornication; for he hath no defilement in his heart, because the Spirit of Elohim (God) resteth upon him.

3For 'as' the sun is not defiled by shining on dung and mire, 'but rather drieth up both and driveth away the evil smell'; so also the pure mind, though encompassed by the defilements of earth, rather cleanseth (them) and is not itself defiled.
