"Abba Moses gave the following seven precepts to Abba Poemen which, if observed, will lead to salvation for anybody, whether in a coenobion or in solitude or in the world itself: 1. In the first place, as it is written a man must love God with all your heart and with all your mind. 2. A man must love his neighbour as himself. 3. A man must do to death all evil in him. 4. A man must not judge his brother in any dispute. 5. A man must do no evil to another person. 6. Before departing this life, a man must cleanse himself of every fault of mind or body. 7. A man must always be of a humble and contrite heart. This can be achieved by anyone who thinks of his own sins all the time and not of his neighbour’s, with the assistance of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ who with the Father and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns world without end. Amen."
