Ἐκ τῶν Πατέρων. -- Διά τεσσάρων πραγμάτων ἡ ψυχή μιαίνεται· τῷ περιπατεῖν ἐν πόλει καί μή φυλάσσειν τούς ὀφθαλμούς, καί τῷ ὅλως ἔχειν γνῶσιν μετά γυναικῶν, καί τῷ ἔχειν φιλίαν μετά τῶν ἐνδόξων τοῦ κόσμου, καί τῷ ἀγαπῆσαι τάς σαρκικάς ὁμιλίας καί ματαιολογίας
From the Fathers,”The soul is defiled by four things: by walking in the city and not guarding your eyes, by having intimate knowledge with women, by having affection for the celebrities of the world, and to love sensual speech and empty talk.”
