9 If one, a son, would ask you for a loaf, would you give him a stone? If he would ask you for a fish, would you give him a serpent of the dust?
10 What you would have your God give unto you, give unto men. The measure of your worth lies in your service unto men.
11 There is a way that leads unto the perfect life; few find it at a time.
12 It is a narrow way; it lies among the rocks and pitfalls of the carnal life; but in the way there are no pitfalls and no rocks.
13 There is a way that leads to wretchedness and want. It is a spacious way and many walk therein. It lies among the pleasure groves of carnal life.
14 Beware, for many claim to walk the way of life who walk the way of death.
15 But they are false in word and deed; false prophets they. They clothe themselves in skins of sheep, while they are vicious wolves.
16 They cannot long conceal themselves; men know them by their fruits;
17 You cannot gather grapes from thorns, nor from the thistles, figs.
18 The fruit is daughter of the tree and, like the parent, so the child; and every tree that bears not wholesome fruit is plucked up by the roots and cast away,
19 Because a man prays long and loud is not a sign that he is saint. The praying men are not all in the kingdom of the soul.
20 The man who lives the holy life, who does the will of God, abides within the kingdom of the soul.
21 The good man from the treasures of his heart sends blessedness and peace to all the world.
22 The evil man sends thoughts that blight and wither hope and joy and fill the world with wretchedness and woe.
23 Men think and act and speak out of the abundance of the heart.
24 And when the judgment hour shall come a host of men will enter pleadings for themselves and think to buy the favor of the judge with words.
25 And they will say, Lo, we have wrought a multitude of works in the Omnific name,
26 Have we not prophesied? Have we not cured all manner of disease? Have we not cast the evil spirits out of those obsessed?
27 And then the judge will say, I know you not. You rendered service unto God in words when in your heart you worshipped Beelzebul.
28 The evil one may use the powers of life, and do a multitude of mighty works. Depart from me, you workers of iniquity.
