Though they, with intelligence overpowered by greed, see no evil in the destruction of families, and no sin in hostility to friends,

Even if these men, their minds overcome by greed, do not see the wrong in destroying a family or the crime in betraying friends,

Arjuna concedes that the Kauravas, blinded by greed, cannot see the evil of destroying a family or betraying friends. He does not excuse them; he names their greed directly. But he begins to argue that their blindness does not justify his own. The sentence carries over into the next verse. It is a mature move in his reasoning: one person's wrong does not oblige another to match it. Many readers find this one of Arjuna's most thoughtful points, even though the dialogue will later place it in a wider frame.
