Stains

“Anyone who has three qualities, and has not given up three stains, is placed in hell as if delivered there. What three? They’re unethical, and haven’t given up the stain of immorality. They’re jealous, and haven’t given up the stain of jealousy. They’re stingy, and haven’t given up the stain of stinginess. Anyone who possesses these three qualities, and has not given up these three stains, is placed in hell as if delivered there.
