子曰:“弟子入则孝,出则悌,谨而信,泛爱众,而亲人(仁)。行有余力,则以学文。”
The Master said, “As a younger brother and son, be filial (
xiao
孝
) at home and deferential (
ti
悌
) in the com munity; be cautious in what you say and then make good on your word (
xin
信
); love the multitude broadly and be intimate with those who are authoritative in their conduct (
ren
仁
).
If in so behaving you still have energy left, use it to improve yourself through study.”
