Apostolic Fathers: Didache
Chapter 5
1 But this is the way of death. First, every evil is also filled with abominations: murders, adulteries, covetousnesses, sexual immoralities, thefts, idolatries, magicians, sorcerers, robberies, false witnesses, hypocrisy, double-mindedness, treachery, arrogance, evil, stubbornness, greed, foul language, jealousy, audaciousness, exultation, boasting, 2 persecuting the righteous, hating truth, loving falsehood, not knowing the wages of righteousness, not joining together for good nor judging righteously, not being wakeful for good but for evil, standing aloof from mildness and patience, loving foolishness, pursuing recompense, not being merciful to the poor, not anxious about those who suffer, not recognizing their Creator, murdering children, corrupting God's vessel, turning away the needy, oppressing the suffering, being advocates for the rich, lawless judges of the poor, altogether sinful. May you be delivered, children, from all these things.
After the delineation of the way of life, the Teaching turns to the way of death. He begins with a long list of sins that fills the way of death. This list of sins is very similar to many of the lists of sins found in Scripture. It begins very much like Matthew 15:19, but he adds several iterations of some of these sins. At the end of the list, there is a short prayer that the Christian be delivered from all of these sins. That they may follow the way of life, forsaking the way of death.
