PART I RIGHTEOUSNESS
CHAPTER 26
ABJURING OF FLESH-MEAT
251. How can he feel pity, who eateth other flesh in order to fatten his own?
252. Riches are not for the thriftless: even so pity is not for those that eat meat.
253. The heart of the man that tasteth flesh turneth not towards good, even as the heart of him that is armed with steel.
254. The killing of animals is veritable hardness of heart: but the eating of their flesh is iniquity indeed.
255. In non-eating of flesh is Life: if thou eat, the pit of hell will not open its mouth to let thee out.
