In the city of Rājagṛha, and so on, [Gautama] spoke thus:
"Venerable Sir! The followers of other doctrines declare up to set forth thus:
'Indeed, is it thus:
1. Conduct is best?
2. Scriptural knowledge is best?
3. Both scriptural knowledge and conduct are best?'
How, Venerable Sir, is that [to be understood]?"

"Gautama! In that those followers of other doctrines declare up to say so, what they have said is false. But I, Gautama, declare up to set forth thus:
'Indeed, four types of persons have been propounded by me, namely:
1. One is endowed with conduct, but not endowed with scriptural knowledge;
2. One is endowed with scriptural knowledge, but not endowed with conduct;
3. One is endowed with both conduct and scriptural knowledge;
4. One is neither endowed with conduct nor endowed with scriptural knowledge.

Herein, as for that first type of person: that person is endowed with conduct, but without scriptural knowledge—he has abstained, but has not understood the Dharma. This person, Gautama, is propounded by me as a partial propitiator.

Herein, as for that second type of person: that person is without conduct, but endowed with scriptural knowledge—he has not abstained, but has understood the Dharma. This person, Gautama, is propounded by me as a partial violator.

Herein, as for that third type of person: that person is endowed with conduct and endowed with scriptural knowledge—he has abstained and has understood the Dharma. This person, Gautama, is propounded by me as a complete propitiator.

Herein, as for that fourth type of person: that person is without conduct and without scriptural knowledge—he has not abstained and has not understood the Dharma. This person, Gautama, is propounded by me as a complete violator.'"
