Numbered Discourses 4.64
7. Fitting Deeds
Hell
“Mendicants, someone with four qualities is placed in hell as if delivered there. What four? They kill living creatures, steal, commit sexual misconduct, and lie. Someone with these four qualities is placed in hell as if delivered there.
Killing, stealing,
telling lies,
and visiting others’ wives:
astute people don’t praise these things.”
