Let us flee from the desire to please men and from anger. For the [old] law said that these are like white and red leprosy. Let us also cast away from ourselves cunning hypocrisy and foolish cowardice, for these are after the image of azure leprosy. Let us drive away from ourselves once more irrational sorrow and soul-draining envy, for these are after the manner of yellow-green leprosy.
