Testament of Asher

Chapter 6

  1. 1 Take heed, therefore, ye also, my children, to the commandments of the Lord, following the truth
  2. 2 with singleness of face. For they that are double-faced are guilty of a twofold sin; for they both do the evil thing and they have pleasure in them that do it, following the example of the spirits of
  3. 3 deceit, and striving against mankind. Do ye, therefore, my children, keep the law of the Lord, and give not heed unto evil as unto good; but look unto the thing that is really good, and keep it in all
  4. 4 commandments of the Lord, having your conversation therein, and resting therein. For the latter ends of men do show their righteousness (or unrighteousness), when they meet the angels of the
  5. 5 Lord and of Satan. For when the soul departs troubled, it is tormented by the evil spirit which also it served in lusts and evil works.
  6. 6 But if he is peaceful with joy he meeteth the angel of peace, and he leadeth him into eternal life.
