"Steal not the property of another, for this would be taking away from your neighbor the things which he has acquired by the sweat of his brow."
-16" Deceive not any one, thus you shall not be deceived yourselves; try to justify yourselves before the last judgment, for then it will be too late."
.-17~Do not give yourselves up to debauchery, for that is violating the laws of God."
-18"Supreme happiness shall be attained not only by purifying yourselves, but also by guiding others in the way which will achieve for them the primitive perfection."

"Of what new God dost thou teach? Dost thou not know, unfortunate one that thou art, that the holy Zoroaster is the only just man admitted to the honor of receiving communications from the Superme Being?"
