1“A fool is characterized by their deeds; an astute person is characterized by their deeds. And wisdom is evident in its outcome.

A fool is known by three things. What three? Bad conduct by way of body, speech, and mind. These are the three things by which a fool is known.

2An astute person is known by three things. What three? Good conduct by way of body, speech, and mind. These are the three things by which an astute person is known.

3So you should train like this: ‘We will reject the three things by which a fool is known, and we will undertake and follow the three things by which an astute person is known.’ That’s how you should train.”

Tīhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bālo veditabbo. Katamehi tīhi? Kāyaduccaritena, vacīduccaritena, manoduccaritena. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, tīhi dhammehi samannāgato bālo veditabbo.

2Tīhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato paṇḍito veditabbo. Katamehi tīhi? Kāyasucaritena, vacīsucaritena, manosucaritena. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, tīhi dhammehi samannāgato paṇḍito veditabbo.

3Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, evaṁ sikkhitabbaṁ:  ‘yehi tīhi dhammehi samannāgato bālo veditabbo te tayo dhamme abhinivajjetvā, yehi tīhi dhammehi samannāgato paṇḍito veditabbo te tayo dhamme samādāya vattissāmā’ti. Evañhi vo, bhikkhave, sikkhitabban"ti.
