Aṅguttara Nikāya — Discursos Numerados — 4.203 — Seven Kinds of Deeds

1“Mendicants, I will teach you an untrue person and an even more untrue person, a true person and a truer person.

2And what is an untrue person? It’s someone who kills living creatures, steals, commits sexual misconduct, and uses speech that’s false, backbiting, harsh, or nonsensical. This is called an untrue person.

3And what is an even more untrue person? It’s someone who kills living creatures, steals, commits sexual misconduct, and uses speech that’s false, backbiting, harsh, or nonsensical. And they encourage others to do these things. This is called an even more untrue person.

4And what is a true person? It’s someone who doesn’t kill living creatures, steal, commit sexual misconduct, or use speech that’s false, backbiting, harsh, or nonsensical. This is called a true person.

5And what is an even truer person? It’s someone who doesn’t kill living creatures, steal, commit sexual misconduct, or use speech that’s false, backbiting, harsh, or nonsensical. And they encourage others to refrain from these things. This is called an even truer person.”
