2 Enoch 45

Pseudepigrapha — not canonical

W.R. Morfill, translated from the Slavonic, 1896 (Oxford); short-recension chapter division. These texts are not endorsed in any LDS canon — see framing.

1Whoever hastens to make offerings before the Lord's face, the Lord for his part will hasten that offering by granting of his work.

2But whoever increases his lamp before the Lord's face and make not true judgment, the Lord will (not) increase his treasure in the realm of the highest.

3When the Lord demands bread, or candles, or (the )flesh (of beasts), or any other sacrifice, then that is nothing; but God demands pure hearts, and with all that (only) tests the heart of man.
