第五章

1. 子曰:「富與貴是人之所欲也;不以其道得之,不處也。貧與賤是人之所惡也;不以其道得之,不去也。

2. 君子去仁,惡乎成名?

3. 君子無終食之間違仁,造次必於是,顛沛必於是。」

CHAPTER V.

1. The Master said, 'Riches and honours are what men desire. If they cannot be obtained in the proper way, they should not be held. Poverty and meanness are what men dislike. If they cannot be avoided in the proper way, they should not be avoided.

2. 'If a superior man abandon virtue, how can he fulfill the requirements of that name?

3. 'The superior man does not, even for the space of a single meal, act contrary to virtue. In moments of haste, he cleaves to it. In seasons of danger, he cleaves to it.'
