Dhammapada 242 - 243

Verse 242:
Sexual misconduct is the blemish of a woman;
stinginess is the blemish of a giver;
evil ways are indeed damages

both being in this world as well as in the next.


Verse 243:
A blemish worse than these
is ignorance (of the 4 Noble Truths),
which is the greatest of all root poisons.
O Bhikkhus, abandon this blemish and be taintless.
