周公謂魯公曰：君子不施其親。不使大臣怨乎不以。故舊無大故，則不棄也。無求備於一人。The Duke of Zhou said to the Duke of Lu: The gentleman does not neglect his kin. He does not give the great ministers cause to resent not being used. Old friends, unless there is a grave reason, he does not cast off. He does not expect everything of one person.
白Plain Chinese
周公告诫儿子鲁公，不要疏弃亲族，不要使大臣因不被任用而怨恨，旧交没有重大的恶行就不要抛弃，也不要向一个人求全责备。
Draft plain-Chinese rendering following Zhu Xi; it will be checked when the chapter is covered.

Compared with Zhu Xi
| Commentary | Point | Relation | Confidence | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 杨伯峻《论语译注》 | same | settled | 施借弛、勿弃亲，不弃无大故旧友、不求全一人；鲁公伯禽，朱大故具体恶逆，杨未另增更宽弃友条件。 | |
| 钱穆《论语新解》 | same | fairly sure | 同以施通弛为遗弃，鲁公为伯禽，待亲臣故旧不薄且不求一人全备，重忠厚任人；不等于恶逆亦不可去。 |
