The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs 55
Judah 20
Two spirits wait upon man - the spirit of truth and the spirit of error - and understanding sits midway free to turn at will.
1earn therefore, my children, that two spirits wait upon man—the spirit of truth and the spirit of error; and in the midst is the spirit of the understanding of the mind, to which it belongeth to turn whithersoever it will.
2 And the works of truth and the works of error are written upon the breast of men, and each one of them the Lord knoweth.
3 And there is no time at which the works of men can be hid from Him; for on the bones of his breast hath he been written down before the Lord.
4 And the spirit of truth testifieth all things, and accuseth all; and he who sinneth is burnt up by his own heart, and cannot raise his face unto the Judge.
Did You Know?
Two spirits wait upon man - the spirit of truth and the spirit of error - and understanding sits midway free to turn at will.
Works of truth and error are written upon the breast of men, and the Lord knows each one of them.
No works of men can ever be hidden, for each person is written down on the bones of his breast before the Lord.
The spirit of truth testifies all things and accuses all, so the sinner is burnt up by his own heart.
He who sins is burnt up by his own heart and cannot raise his face unto the Judge.
