Chapter XIX.—The way of light. The way of light, then, is as follows. If any one desires to travel to the appointed place, he must be zealous in his works. The knowledge, therefore, which is given to us for the purpose of walking in this way, is the following. Thou shalt love Him that created thee:250 thou shalt glorify Him that redeemed thee from death. Thou shalt be simple in heart, and rich in spirit. Thou shalt not join thyself to those who walk in the way of death. Thou shalt hate doing what is unpleasing to God: thou shalt hate all hypocrisy. Thou shalt not forsake the commandments of the Lord. Thou shalt not exalt thyself, but shalt be of a lowly mind.251 Thou shalt not take glory to thyself. Thou shalt not take evil counsel against thy neighbour. Thou shalt not allow over-boldness to enter into thy soul.252 Thou shalt not commit fornic- ation: thou shalt not commit adultery: thou shalt not be a corrupter of youth. Thou shalt not let the word of God issue from thy lips with any kind of impurity.253 Thou shalt not accept persons when thou reprovest any one for transgression. Thou shalt be meek: thou shalt be peaceable. Thou shalt tremble at the words which thou hearest.254 Thou shalt not be mindful of evil against thy brother. Thou shalt not be of doubtful mind255 as to whether a thing shall be or not. Thou shalt not take the name256 of the Lord in vain. Thou shalt love thy neighbour more than thine own soul.257 Thou shalt not slay the child by procuring abortion; nor, again, shalt thou destroy it after it is born. Thou shalt not withdraw thy hand from thy son, or from thy daughter, but from their infancy thou shalt teach them the fear of the Lord.258 Thou shalt not covet what is thy neighbour’s, nor shalt thou be avaricious. Thou shalt not be joined in soul with the haughty, but thou shalt be reckoned with the righteous and lowly. Receive thou as good things the trials259 which come upon thee.260 Thou shalt not be of double mind or of double tongue,261 for a double tongue is a snare of death. Thou shalt be subject262 to the Lord, and to [other] masters as the image of God, 250 Cod. Sin. inserts, “Thou shalt fear Him that formed thee.” 251 Cod. Sin. adds, “in all things.” 252 Literally, “shalt not give insolence to thy soul.” 253 “That is, while proclaiming the Gospel, thou shalt not in any way be of corrupt morals.”—Hefele. 254 Isa. lxvi. 2. All the preceding clauses are given in Cod. Sin. in distinct lines. 255 Comp. Jas. i. 8. 256 Cod. Sin. has “thy name,” but this is corrected as above. 257 Cod. Sin. corrects to, “as thine own soul.” 258 Cod. Sin. has, “of God.” 259 “Difficulties,” or “troubles.” 260 Cod. Sin. adds, “knowing that without God nothing happens.” 261 Cod. Sin. has, “talkative,” and omits the following clause. 262 Cod. Sin. has, “Thou shalt be subject (ὑποταγήσῃ— untouched by the corrector) to masters as a type of God.” Chapter XIX.—The way of light. 400 Chapter XIX.—The way of light.
