And now, my children, do not say: 'Our father stands before God, and is praying for our sins', for there is no helper of any man who has sinned.
2You see how I wrote all the works of every man, before their creation, all that is done among all men for all time, and no one can tell or relate my handwriting, for the Lord sees all the imaginations of man, how vain they are, where they lie in the treasures of the heart.
3And now, my children, mark well all the words of your father, that I tell you, lest you repent, saying: 'Why did our father not tell us?'
