Section 5

Statute 4. Said Petros : Thou shalt not kill life, and thou shalt not commit adultery, and thou shalt not corrupt young children. Thou shalt not steal, and thou shalt not be a soothsayer, and thou shalt not be a star-gazer, and thou shalt not be a magician. And thou shalt not cause abortion, nor after the child is born shalt thou kill it. And thou shalt not covet any of thy neighbour s goods, and thou shalt not hate any man, and thou shalt not be a false witness. And thou shalt not be a speaker of evil against any. And thou shalt not think about doing evil, and thou shalt not be of double heart and of double tongue; because he who is of double tongue is a deadly snare. And thy words shall not be vain, and thou shalt not be false. And thou shalt not be a hypocrite, nor a lover of great possessions, nor a defrauder, nor unfair, nor one of evil heart, nor proud, And thou shalt not devise evil against thy companion, and thou shalt not hate any man, but reprove him ; and for some pray, and to others be merciful, and others love much more than thyself.
