Dhammapada · 13.10

Ekaṃ dhammaṃ atītassa, musāvādissa jantuno;Vitiṇṇaparalokassa, natthi pāpaṃ akāriyaṃ.

Ekam dhammam atitassa, musavadissa jantuno; Vitinnaparalokassa, natthi papam akariyam.

For one who has transgressed the one Dhamma — truthfulness — and who has rejected the world beyond, there is no evil he would not do.

— Dhammapada 13.10
