**134:1** Know ye, my children, the end of the good man?

**134:2** Be followers of his compassion in a good mind, that ye also may wear crowns of glory.

**134:3** The good man hath not a dark eye; for he showeth mercy to all men, even though they be sinners, even though they devise evil concerning him.

**134:4** So he that doeth good overcometh the evil, being shielded by Him that is good; and he loveth the righteous as his own soul.

**134:5** If any one is glorified, he envieth him not; if any one is enriched, he is not jealous; if any one is valiant, he praiseth him; he trusteth and laudeth him that is sober-minded; he showeth mercy to the poor; he is kindly disposed toward the weak; he singeth the praises of God; as for him who hath the fear of God, he protecteth him as with a shield; him that loveth God he aideth; him that rejecteth the Most High he admonisheth and turneth back; and him that hath the grace of a good spirit, he loveth even as his own soul.
