一孔录The video for this chapter is still in production. For now this page gives the original text, the facsimile page, a working translation and the commentary; the full reading follows when the video is out.
子曰：由也，女聞六言六蔽矣乎？對曰：未也。居！吾語女。好仁不好學，其蔽也愚；好知不好學，其蔽也蕩；好信不好學，其蔽也賊；好直不好學，其蔽也絞；好勇不好學，其蔽也亂；好剛不好學，其蔽也狂。The Master said: You, have you heard of the six words and their six flaws? He replied: Not yet. Sit down; I will tell you. Loving humaneness without loving learning, the flaw is foolishness. Loving wisdom without loving learning, the flaw is aimlessness. Loving good faith without loving learning, the flaw is doing harm. Loving straightness without loving learning, the flaw is harshness. Loving courage without loving learning, the flaw is disorder. Loving firmness without loving learning, the flaw is recklessness.
白Plain Chinese
孔子问子路听过六种美德及其六种弊病没有，子路说没有，孔子便叫他坐下，说喜仁而不好学会受愚昧蒙蔽，喜智而不好学会放荡无所守，喜信而不好学会害人，喜直而不好学会尖刻，喜勇而不好学会作乱，喜刚而不好学会狂妄。
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 | 六言即仁知信直勇刚六德，无学明理各有蔽；杨愚明取朱可陷可罔，非越好德就不需学。 | |
| 钱穆《论语新解》 | same | fairly sure | 同以六美好若不学反成愚荡贼绞乱狂，须学辨轻重而不恃资质；居命子路还坐，非使其离开。 |
