子路曰：桓公殺公子糾，召忽死之，管仲不死。曰：未仁乎？子曰：桓公九合諸侯，不以兵車，管仲之力也。如其仁！如其仁！Zilu said: Duke Huan had Prince Jiu killed. Shao Hu died with him, but Guan Zhong did not. Was he not lacking in humaneness? The Master said: Duke Huan gathered the lords together nine times without using war chariots — that was Guan Zhong's doing. Such was his humaneness! Such was his humaneness!
What this chapter says
一孔按：子路说管仲不为公子纠而死，不算仁吧。孔子说桓公九合诸侯不靠兵车，是管仲之力，这就是他的仁。不论死节，论他让天下免于兵祸的功。常有人问：子路说管仲不为公子纠死是不仁，孔子为什么答“如其仁”？上面是一孔录的回答。
Yikonglu's reading of this chapter is in Chinese for now; the English version comes with the video.
白Plain Chinese
子路说，桓公杀公子纠，召忽为他而死，管仲却不死，这算不上仁吧；孔子说，桓公召集诸侯，不靠武力，这是管仲的力量，谁能比得上他的仁德，谁能比得上呢！

| 子路曰：桓公杀公 | “按春秋传：齐襄公无道，鲍叔牙奉公子小白奔莒。及无知弑襄公，管夷吾、召忽奉公子纠奔鲁。鲁人纳之，未克，而小白入，是为桓公。使鲁杀子纠而请管、召。召忽死之，管仲请囚。鲍叔牙言于桓公以为相。子路疑管仲忘君事雠，忍心害理，不得为仁也。” | page 193 |
| 子曰：桓公九合诸 | “九，春秋传作纠，督也，古字通用。不以兵车，言不假威力也。如其仁，言谁如其仁者。又再言以深许之。盖管仲虽未得为仁人，而其利泽及人，则有仁之功矣。” | page 193—194 |
