1   信言不美，美言不信。	信實的言辭不華美，華美的言辭不信實。 Trustworthy words may not be magnificent, magnificent words may not be trustworthy.
2   善者不辯，辯者不善。	善良的人不喜歡狡辯，喜歡狡辯的人不善良。 A benevolent person does not like tricky debates; he who likes tricky debates is not kind.
3   知者不博，博者不知。	認識真道者學識不見得廣博，學識廣博者未必認識真道。 He who knows the true Word is not necessarily well knowledgeable; he who is well knowledgeable does not necessarily know the true Word.
4   聖人不積，既以為人己愈有，既以與人己愈多。	聖人不為自己積存什麽，因為越為他人謀福利自己就會越富有，越能奉獻給別人自己就會得到更多。 A holy man keeps nothing for himself, for the more he benefits others the richer he becomes, the more he sacrifices the more he gains.
5   天之道，利而不害。	天父的應許，是給世人帶來祝福而不是降災害給世人。 The promise of heavenly Father is to bless rather than to curse the world.
6   聖人之道，為而不爭。	聖人的計劃，是為世人謀福利而不是與世人相爭。 The plan of holy men is to seek benefits for the people rather than to compete with them.
