Plain text of LXI. Enoch admonishes his Sons to preserve themselves from Unrighteousness, and to stretch out their hands frequently to the Poor, and to give them something from their Labours.

1 Now therefore, my children, preserve your hearts from every unrighteousness which the Lord hates. As a man asks his soul from GOD, so let him do to every living soul. 2. For in the world to come, I know all things [that GOD has shown me] how that there are many mansions prepared for men; good for the good; evil for the evil; many and without number. 3. Blessed are those who shall go to the mansions of the blessed; for in the evil ones there is no rest nor any means of return from them. 4. Listen, my children, both small and great: When a man conceives a good thought in his heart and brings gifts before the Lord of his labours—if his hands have not wrought them then the Lord turns away His face [glory] from the labour of his hands, and he cannot gain advantage from the work of his hand. 5. But if his hands have wrought, but his heart murmurs and he does not make an offering of his heart, but murmurs continually, he has no success.
