Are there other passages in the Bahai writings which also use
extremely superlative terms to describe either the highest of virtues
or the worst of sins, but they are talking about something other than

Trustworthiness
O people! The goodliest vesture in the sight of God in this day is
trustworthiness. All bounty and honour shall be the portion of the
soul that arrayeth itself with this greatest of adornments.
(Baha'u'llah - translated from Persian)
The primary characteristic of true believers is trustworthiness
whereas the primary characteristic of the rebellious is faithlessness.
(Abdu'l-Baha - translated from the Persian)
