'''Treachery''' is the [[sin]] of acting against people to whom one has an obligation - for example [[family]] members, [[friend]]s or one's [[country]] (in the last case, it is called [[treason]]). In most cultures, a treacherous act is considered far worse than an equivalent [[crime]] against someone with whom one has no connection at all, although [[Jesus]] often emphasised the importance of doing good to everyone and ''not'' just one's own people or family.

Famous examples of treachery include [[Judas Iscariot]]'s betrayal of Jesus, [[Brutus]] and [[Cassius]]' plot against [[Julius Caesar]], and [[Benedict Arnold]]'s actions during the [[American War of Independence]]. In [[Christian]] tradition, the first traitor was [[Satan]], who led a rebellion against [[God]] and was cast out of [[Heaven]] as punishment.
