第三章

1. 司馬牛問仁。

2. 子曰:「仁者,其言也訒。」

3. 曰:「其言也訒,斯謂之仁已乎?」子曰:「為之難,言之得無訒乎?」

CHAPTER III.

1. Sze-ma Niu asked about perfect virtue.

2. The Master said, 'The man of perfect virtue is cautious and slow in his speech.'

3. 'Cautious and slow in his speech!' said Niu;--'is this what is meant by perfect virtue?' The Master said, 'When a man feels the difficulty of doing, can he be other than cautious and slow in speaking?'
