“ Also, weigh the loss [that may be sustained through the fulfillment] of a commandment against the reward [that may be obtained] for [fulfilling] it,
And [weigh] the gain [that may be obtained through the committing] of a transgression against the loss [that may be sustained] by [committing] it.
Keep your eye on three things, and you will not come into the grip of sin:
Know what is above you:
An Eye that sees,
And an Ear that hears,
And all your deeds are written in a book. ”

“ And their [ancestors’] righteousness will endure forever.
And as for you [who work for the community] , [God says:] I credit you with a great reward, as if you [yourselves] had [actually] done [everything on your own] .
Mishnah 3
Be careful about the authorities who approach a man only when they need him. ”
