1A person then may with words help the good for the sake of the evil, yet the issue of the action leadeth to mischief.
2There is a man who showeth no compassion upon him who serveth his turn in evil; and this thing hath two aspects, but the whole is evil.
3And there is a man that loveth him that worketh evil, because he would prefer 'even' to die in evil for his sake; and concerning this it is clear that it hath two aspects, but the whole is an evil work.
4Though indeed he have love, yet is he wicked who concealeth what is evil for the sake of the good name, but the end of the action tendeth unto evil.
5Another stealeth, doeth unjustly, plundereth, defraudeth, and withal pitieth the poor: this 'too' hath a twofold aspect, but the whole is evil.
