5.1
Thero cepi, kassapa, bhikkhu hoti na sikkhākāmo na sikkhāsamādānassa vaṇṇavādī, ye caññe bhikkhū na sikkhākāmā te ca na sikkhāya samādapeti, ye caññe bhikkhū sikkhākāmā tesañca na vaṇṇaṃ bhaṇati bhūtaṃ tacchaṃ kālena, evarūpassāhaṃ, kassapa, therassa bhikkhuno na vaṇṇaṃ bhaṇāmi.
Kassapa, take the case of a senior mendicant who is not eager to train and doesn’t praise taking up the training. They don’t encourage other mendicants who are not eager to train to take up the training. And they don’t truthfully and correctly praise at the right time those mendicants not eager to train. I don’t praise that kind of senior mendicant.
