2 Enoch (Secrets of Enoch) 61

Slavonic

And now, my children, keep your hearts from all injustice, which the Lord hates. Just as a man asks something for his own soul from God, so let him do to every living soul, for I know all things, how in the great time (to come) many dwellings are prepared for men, good for the good, and bad for the bad, many without number.

2Blessed are those who enter the good houses, for in the bad there is no peace nor return.

3Hear, my children, small and great! When man puts a good thought in his heart, brings gifts from his labors before the face of the Lord and his hands did not make them, then the Lord will turn his face from the work of his hand, and he will not be able to find the work of his hands.

4And if his hands made it, but his heart murmurs, and his heart does not cease making incessant murmur, he has no advantage at all.
