5 Behold, therefore, as ye see, I am a hundred and twenty-six years old and am not conscious of committing any sin. (T12) 6 Except my wife I have not known any woman. I never committed fornication by the uplifting of my eyes. (T12) 7 I drank not wine, to be led astray thereby; (T12) 8 I coveted not any desirable thing that was my neighbour's.

(T12) 13 I wrought godliness, all my days I kept truth. (T12) 14 I loved the Lord; likewise also every man with all my heart. (T12) 15 So do you also these things, my children, and every spirit of Beliar shall flee from you, and no deed of wicked men shall rule over you; (T12) 16 And every wild beast shall ye subdue, since you have with you the God of heaven and earth and walk with men in singleness of heart. (T12)
