Well planted the thing not is uprooted.
Well is preserved the thing not is taken away.
Sons', grandsons' offerings and ancestor worship not will cease.
Who practises it in person his virtue then is real
practises it in his family, his virtue is overflowing
practises it in his township, his virtue then is lasting
practises it in his country, his virtue the is abundant
practises this in the world. his virtue then is universal.
Therefore by one's person one tests persons.
By one's family one tests families.
By one's township one tests townships.
By one's country one tests countries.
By one's world one tests worlds
I what-by know the world's being such?
By this.
