“Catūhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye.  “Mendicants, someone with four qualities is cast down to hell.
Katamehi catūhi?  What four?
Musāvādī hoti, pisuṇavāco hoti, pharusavāco hoti, samphappalāpī hoti—  They use speech that’s false, divisive, harsh, or nonsensical.
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?
Musāvādā paṭivirato hoti, pisuṇāya vācāya paṭivirato hoti, pharusāya vācāya paṭivirato hoti, samphappalāpā paṭivirato hoti—  They don’t use speech that’s false, divisive, harsh, or nonsensical.
imehi kho, bhikkhave, catūhi dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge”ti.  Someone with these four qualities is raised up to heaven.”

Dutiyaṁ.
