2:6Therefore, my children, I say unto you, observe all things whatsoever I command you, and ye shall not sin.
2:7For a pit unto the soul is the sin of fornication, separating it from God, and bringing it near to idols, because it deceiveth the mind and understanding, and leadeth down young men into Hades before their time.
2:8For many hath fornication destroyed; because, though a man be old or noble, or rich or poor, he bringeth reproach upon himself with the sons of men and derision with Beliar.
2:9For ye heard regarding Joseph how he guarded himself from a woman, and purged his thoughts from all fornication, and found favour in the sight of God and men.
2:10For the Egyptian woman did many things unto him, and summoned magicians, and offered him love potions, but the purpose of his soul admitted no evil desire.
2:11Therefore the God of your fathers delivered him from every evil and hidden death.
2:12For if fornication overcomes not your mind, neither can Beliar overcome you.
2:13For evil are women, my children; and since they have no power or strength over man, they use wiles by outward attractions, that they may draw him to themselves.
2:14And whom they cannot bewitch by outward attractions, him they overcome by craft.
2:15For moreover, concerning them, the angel of the Lord told me, and taught me, that women are overcome by the spirit of fornication more than men, and in their heart they plot against men; and by means of their adornment they deceive first their minds, and by the glance of the eye instil the poison, and then through the accomplished act they take them captive.
2:16For a woman cannot force a man openly, but by a harlot's bearing she beguiles him.
