Summary: Anger and jealousy lead to murder.

Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:312

μὴ γίνου ὀργίλος, ὁδηγεῖ γὰρ ἡ ὀργὴ πρὸς τὸν φόνον, μηδὲ ζηλωτὴς μηδὲ ἐριστικὸς μηδὲ θυμικός· ἐκ γὰρ τούτων ἁπάντων φόνοι γεννῶνται.

English · Claude translation

Do not be prone to anger, for anger leads to murder; nor jealous nor quarrelsome nor hot-tempered, for from all these, murders are born.
