They’re faithless, unethical, lazy, and witless.

imehi kho, bhikkhave, catūhi dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye.
Someone with these four qualities is cast down to hell.

Catūhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge.
Someone with four qualities is raised up to heaven.

Katamehi catūhi?
What four?

Saddho hoti, sīlavā hoti, āraddhavīriyo hoti, paññavā hoti—
They’re faithful, ethical, energetic, and wise.

imehi kho, bhikkhave, catūhi dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge”ti.
