23. For while they practice either child sacrifices or occult mysteries,or frenzied carousing in exotic rites,

26. Disturbance of good people, neglect of gratitude,besmirching of souls, unnatural lust,disorder in marriage, adultery and shamelessness.
27. For the worship of infamous idolsis the reason and source and extreme of all evil.
