| 7:1 | Μὴ ποίει κακά, καὶ οὐ μή σε καταλάβῃ κακόν· |
| 7:2 | ἀπόστηθι ἀπὸ ἀδίκου, καὶ ἐκκλινεῖ ἀπὸ σοῦ. |
| 7:3 | υἱέ, μὴ σπεῖρε ἐπʼ αὔλακας ἀδικίας, καὶ οὐ μὴ θερίσῃς αὐτὰς ἑπταπλασίως. |
| 7:4 | μὴ ζήτει παρὰ Κυρίου ἡγεμονίαν, μηδὲ παρὰ βασιλέως καθέδραν δόξης. |
| 7:5 | μὴ δικαιοῦ ἔναντι Κυρίου, καὶ παρὰ βασιλεῖ μὴ σοφίζου. |
| 7:6 | μὴ ζήτει γενέσθαι κριτής. μὴ οὐκ ἐξισχύσεις ἐξᾶραι ἀδικίας· μή ποτε εὐλαβηθῇς ἀπὸ προσώπου δυνάστου, καὶ θήσεις σκάνδαλον ἐν εὐθύτητί σου. |
| 7:7 | μὴ ἁμάρτανε εἰς πλῆθος πόλεως, καὶ μὴ καταβάλῃς σεαυτὸν ἐν ὄχλῳ. |
| 7:8 | μὴ καταδεσμεύσῃς δὶς ἁμαρτίαν, ἐν γὰρ τῇ μιᾷ οὐκ ἀθῷος ἔσῃ. |
| 7:9 | μὴ εἴπῃς Τῷ πλήθει τῶν δώρων μου ἐπόψεται, καὶ ἐν τῷ προσενέγκαι με θεῷ ὑψίστῳ προσδέξεται. |
| 7:10 | μὴ ὀλιγοψυχήσῃς ἐν τῇ προσευχῇ σου, καὶ ἐλεημοσύνην ποιῆσαι μὴ παρίδῃς. |
| 7:11 | μὴ καταγέλα ἄνθρωπον ὄντα ἐν πικρίᾳ ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ· ἔστιν γὰρ ὁ ταπεινῶν καὶ ἀνυψῶν. |
| 7:12 | μὴ ἀροτρία ψεῦδος ἐπ᾿ ἀδελφῷ σου. μηδέ φίλῳ τὸ ὅμοιον ποίει. |
| 7:13 | μὴ θέλε ψεύδεσθαι πᾶν ψεῦδος· ὁ γὰρ ἐνδελεχισμὸς αὐτοῦ οὐκ εἰς ἀγαθόν. |
| 7:14 | μὴ ἀδολέσχει ἐν πλήθει πρεσβυτέρων, καὶ μὴ δευτερώσῃς λόγον ἐν προσευχῇ σου. |

| 7:16a | μὴ προσλογίζου σεαυτὸν ἐν πλήθει ἁμαρτωλῶν· |
| 7:16b | μνήσθητι ὅτι ὀργὴ οὐ χρονιεῖ, |
| 7:17a | ταπείνωσον σφόδρα τὴν ψυχήν σου. |
| 7:17b | ὅτι ἐκδίκησις ἀσεβοῦς πῦρ καὶ σκώληξ, |
| 7:18 | μὴ ἀλλάξῃς φίλον ἕνεκεν ἀδιαφόρου, μηδὲ ἀδελφὸν γνήσιον ἐν χρυσίῳ Σουφείρ. |
| 7:19 | μὴ ἀστόχει γυναικὸς σοφῆς καὶ ἀγαθῆς, καὶ γὰρ χάρις αὐτῆς ὑπὲρ τὸ χρυσίον. |
| 7:20 | μὴ κακώσῃς οἰκέτην ἐργαζόμενον ἐν ἀληθεία, μηδὲ μίσθιον διδόντα ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ· |
| 7:21 | οἰκέτην ἀγαθὸν ἀγαπάτω σου ἡ ψυχή· μὴ στερήσῃς αὐτὸν ἐλευθερίας. |
| 7:22 | Κτήνη σοί ἐστιν ; ἐπισκέπτου αὐτά, καὶ εἰ ἔστιν σοι χρήσιμα, ἐμμενέταω σοι. |
| 7:23 | τέκνα σοί ἐστιν; παίδευσον αὐτά, καὶ κάμψον ἐκ νεότητος τὸν τράχηλον αὐτῶν. |
| 7:24 | θυγατέρες σοί εἰσιν; πρόσεχε τῷ σώματι αὐτῶν, καὶ μὴ ἱλαρώσῃς πρὸς αὐτὰς τὸ πρόσαωπόν σου. |
| 7:25 | εκδου θυγατέρα, καὶ ἔσῃ τετελεκὼς ἔργον μέγα, καὶ ἀνδρὶ συνετῷ δώρησαι αὐτήν. |
| 7:26 | γυνή σοί ἐστιν κατὰ ψυχήν μὴ ἐκβάλῃς αὐτήν. |
| 7:27 | ἐν ὅλῃ καρδἰᾳ (29)δόξασον τὸν πατέρα σου, καὶ μητρὸς ὠδῖνας μὴ ἐπιλάθῃ· |
| 7:28 | μνήσθητι ὅτι δι᾿ αὐτῶν ἐγενήθης, καὶ τί ἀνταποδώσεις αὐτοῖς καθὼς αὐτοὶ σοί; |
| 7:29 | ἐν ὅλῃ ψυχῇ σου εὐλαβοῦ τὸν κύριον. καὶ τοὺς ἱερεῖς αὐτοῦ θαύμαζε· |
| 7:30 | ἐν ὅλῃ δυνάμει ἀγάπησον τὸν ποιήσαντά σε, καὶ τοὺς λειτουργοὺς αὐτοῦ μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς. |
| 7:31 | φοβοῦ τὸν κύριον καὶ δόξασον ἱερέα, (34)καὶ δὸς τὴν μερίδα αὐτῷ καθὼς ἐντέταλταί σοι ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς. (35)καὶ περὶ πλημμελίας καὶ δόσιν βραχιόνων καὶ θυσίαν ἁγιασμοῦ καὶ ἀπαρχήν. |
| 7:32 | καὶ πτωχῷ ἔκτεινον τὴν χεῖρά σου, ἵνα τελειωθῇ ἡ εὐλογία σου. |
| 7:33 | χάρις δόματος ἔναντι παντὸς ζῶντος, καὶ ἐπὶ νεκρῷ μὴ ἀποκωλύσῃς χάριν. |
| 7:34 | μὴ ὑστέρει ἀπὸ κλαιόντων, καὶ μετὰ πευθούντων πένθησον. |
| 7:35 | μὴ ὄκνει ἐπισκέπτεσθαι ἄρρωστον· ἐκ γὰρ τῶν τοιούταων ἀγαπηθήσῃ. |
| 7:36 | ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς λόγοις σου μιμνήσκου τὰ ἔσχατά σου, καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα οὐχ ἁμαρτήσεις. |

What the layers are
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
