"Monks, diligence is to be done in four states.
With which four?
Monks, abandon bodily misconduct, develop bodily good conduct;
and do not be negligent in that.
Monks, abandon verbal misconduct, develop good verbal conduct;
and do not be negligent in that.
Monks, abandon mental misconduct, develop good mental conduct;
and do not be negligent in that.
Monks, abandon wrong view, develop right view;
and do not be negligent in that.
"When, monks, for a monk bodily misconduct has been abandoned and bodily good conduct has been developed, verbal misconduct has been abandoned and good verbal conduct has been developed, mental misconduct has been abandoned and good mental conduct has been developed, wrong view has been abandoned and right view has been developed, he does not fear death pertaining to the future life."
