1At Sāvatthī. "Bhikkhus, it is by way of elements that beings come together and unite. Those who destroy life come together and unite with those who destroy life; those who take what is not given … who engage in sexual misconduct … who speak falsehood … who speak divisively … who speak harshly … who indulge in idle chatter come together and unite with those who so indulge.

Pāṇātipātino pāṇātipātīhi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; adinnādāyino adinnādāyīhi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; kāmesumicchācārino kāmesumicchācārīhi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; musāvādino musāvādīhi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; pisuṇavācā pisuṇavācehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; pharusavācā pharusavācehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; samphappalāpino samphappalāpīhi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti.

2"Those who abstain from the destruction of life … from taking what is not given … from sexual misconduct … from false speech … from divisive speech … from harsh speech … from idle chatter come together and unite with those who so abstain."
