those who steal …

lie …
backbite …
speak harshly …

Those who refrain from killing living creatures …
who refrain from stealing …
who refrain from sexual misconduct …
who refrain from lying …
who refrain from backbiting …
who refrain from harsh speech …
who refrain from talking nonsense …
are not covetous …
are not malicious …
have right view with those who have right view.”
