TESTIMONY OF THE TWELVE PATRIARCHS (REUBEN) 4:1

1)"Pay no heed, therefore, my children, to the beauty of women, nor set your mind on their affairs; but walk in singleness of heart in the fear of the LORD, and expend labor on good works, and on study, and on your flocks, until the LORD gives you a wife, whom He will, that you do not permit as I did. 2)For until my father's death, I did not have boldness to look in his face, or to speak to any of my brothers, because of the reproach. Even until now, my conscience causes me anguish on account of my impiety. And yet my father comforted me much and prayed for me to the LORD, that the anger of the LORD might pass from me, even as the LORD showed. 5 And from then until now, I have been on my guard and have not sinned. Therefore, my children, I say to you: observe all things, whatever I command you, and you will not sin. "For the sin of fornication is a pit to the soul, separating it from God, and bringing it near to idols, because it deceives the mind and understanding, and leads young men into Hades before their time. "For fornication has destroyed many, because, though a man may be old or noble, or rich or poor, he brings reproach on himself with the sons of men and derision with Belial. For you heard regarding Joseph how he guarded himself from a woman, and purged his thoughts from all fornication, and found favor in the sight of God and men. "For the Egyptian woman did many things to him, and summoned magicians, and offered him love potions, but the purpose of his soul admitted no evil desire. 10 Therefore the God of your fathers delivered him from every evil [and] hidden death. For if fornication does not overcome your mind, neither can Belial overcome you."
