AN.3.113. Āpāyikasutta ("Bound for Loss")

Aṅguttara Nikāya ("Collections of Numbered Discourses")

“Mendicants, three kinds of people are bound for a place of loss, bound for hell, if they don’t give up this fault. What three?

Someone who is unchaste, but claims to be celibate; someone who makes a groundless accusation of unchastity against a person whose celibacy is pure; and someone who has the view, ‘There is nothing wrong with sensual pleasures,’ so they throw themselves into sensual pleasures.

These are the three kinds of people bound for a place of loss, bound for hell, if they don’t give up this fault.”
