Vetting Status: low
Translation: Vices are analogous to virtues. Some [vices] are primary, others - such as imprudence, cowardice, injustice, intemperance, incontinence, slowness of understanding, ill-advisedness - are subordinated to these.[1] Vices are [part] of ignorance.[2] [This embraces] both things that share in the vices, the actions which are performed in accordance with vice, and the base people [themselves]; and the byproducts [are] despair, folly and the like.

Vice in the Apostle is the eagerness to do harm to one's neighbor.[4]
Greek Original:Κακία: ἀνάλογον ταῖς ἀρεταῖς αἱ κακίαι. αἱ μέν εἰσι πρῶται, αἱ δὲ ὑπὸ ταύτας: οἷον ἀφροσύνη, δειλία, ἀδικία, ἀκολασία, ἀκρασία, βραδύνοια, κακοβουλία. εἰσὶ δὲ ἀγνοίας αἱ κακίαι. τὰ δὲ μετέχοντα τῶν κακιῶν, αἵ τε πράξεις αἱ κατὰ κακίαν, καὶ οἱ φαῦλοι: ἐπιγεννήματα δὲ δυσθυμία, δυσφροσύνη, καὶ τὰ ὅμοια. ζήτει ἐν τῷ ἀρετή. Κακία δέ ἐστιν ἡ τοῦ κακῶσαι τὸν πέλας σπουδὴ παρὰ τῷ Ἀποστόλῳ.
