6Whoever has faith in the Realized One,
unwavering and well grounded;
whose ethical conduct is good,
praised and loved by the noble ones;

7who has confidence in the Saṅgha,
and correct view:
they’re said to be prosperous;
their life is not in vain.

8So let the wise devote themselves
to faith, ethical behavior,
confidence, and insight into the teaching,
remembering the instructions of the Buddhas.
