2"When there is form, bhikkhus, by clinging to form, by adhering to form, such a view as that arises.

When there is feeling … perception … volitional formations … consciousness, by clinging to any of these things, by adhering to any of these things, such a view as that arises.

3"What do you think, bhikkhus, is form permanent or impermanent?"
"Impermanent, venerable sir."

"But without clinging to what is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change, could such a view as that arise?"
"No, venerable sir."
