Pāpa

Pāpaṃ pāpakato passathā

See evil as evil

Iti 2.12 Avajje vajjamatino, vajje cāvajjadassino;
Micchādiṭṭhisamādānā, sattā gacchanti duggatiṃ.

Imagining fault where there is none,
and seeing no fault where there is,
beings adopting wrong views
go to a bad destination.

Dhammapada

Vajja (nt.) [grd. of vajjati, cp. Sk. varjya] that which should be avoided, a fault, sin
