萬惡淫為首,百善孝為先

Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. (Exodus 20:12 ESV)
You shall not murder. (Exodus 20:13 ESV)
You shall not commit adultery. (Exodus 20:14 ESV)

The Chinese is correct in listing filial piety as the first of the good deeds. The Bible also list it as the first commandment dealing with human to human relationship. (The first four commandments deal with human to God relationship). But adultery is not the worst of all sin. It is murder.
