neither for pastime,

nor for indulgence,

nor to become beautiful or handsome,
-
but only to maintain and support this body,

to avoid harm and to assist the holy life, knowing: 'In this way I shall dispel the former pain (of hunger, etc.) and no new pain shall I let arise, and long life, blamelessness and ease will be my share'
