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：主忠信，毋友不如己者，過則勿憚改。The Master said: Hold loyalty and good faith as primary. Do not befriend those not your equal. When you err, do not fear to correct it.
What this chapter says
一孔按：这一章在学而篇已出现过，朱注说是重出而逸其半。主忠信、慎交友、过而改，是孔子反复讲的根本。常有人问：“主忠信，毋友不如己者”为什么在子罕篇又出现一次？上面是一孔录的回答。
