Exegesis
The closing terms blasphēmia {βλασφημία | blasphēmία}, huperephania {ὑπερηφανία | huperēphanía}, and aphrosyne {ἀφροσύνη | aphrōsýnē} complete the list with sins of speech, prideful attitude, and moral folly. The English translation preserves the asyndeton with commas and renders the idiomatic Greek unit into established English equivalents.
