1“Mendicants, these four people are found in the world. What four? The blameworthy, the mostly blameworthy, the slightly blameworthy, and the blameless.

2And how is a person blameworthy? It’s when a person does things by way of body, speech, and mind that are blameworthy. That’s how a person is blameworthy.

3And how is a person mostly blameworthy? It’s when a person does things by way of body, speech, and mind that are mostly blameworthy, but occasionally blameless. That’s how a person is mostly blameworthy.

4And how is a person slightly blameworthy? It’s when a person does things by way of body, speech, and mind that are mostly blameless, but occasionally blameworthy. That’s how a person is slightly blameworthy.

5And how is a person blameless? It’s when a person does things by way of body, speech, and mind that are blameless. That’s how a person is blameless.

These are the four people found in the world.”
