English · Claude translation

But the way of death is this: first of all, it is evil and full of curse: murders, adulteries, lusts, sexual immoralities, thefts, idolatries, magic arts, sorceries, robberies, false testimonies, hypocrisies, duplicity, deceit, arrogance, malice, self-will, greed, foul speech, jealousy, insolence, haughtiness, boastfulness;
