PART I RIGHTEOUSNESS
CHAPTER 18
NON-CONVETING
171. Behold the man who leaveth the right way and coveteth another man's wealth: his wickednesses will increase and his family will decline.
172. Behold the men that turn away from evil : they covet not, neither do they yield to ignoble deeds.
173. Behold the men that care for other joys : they are not greedy after little delights, nor do they yield unto iniquity.
174. Behold the men that have mastered their senses and enlarged their vision : they covet not saying, Lo, we are in want.
175. Of what avail is a mind that is subtle and comprehending, if it yieldeth unto greed and consenteth unto insensate deeds ?
