He who destroys life, who utters lies, who takes what is not given to him, who goes to the wife of another, who gets drunk with strong drinks - he digs up the very roots of his life. Know this therefore: that lack of self-control meanings wrongdoing. Watch that greediness and vice bring thee not unto long suffering.
