“Mendicants, when a mendicant has four things their practice is unfailing, and they have laid the groundwork for ending the defilements. “Catūhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu apaṇṇakappaṭipadaṁ paṭipanno hoti, yoni cassa āraddhā hoti āsavānaṁ khayāya. What four? Katamehi catūhi? It’s when a mendicant is ethical, learned, energetic, and wise. Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sīlavā hoti, bahussuto hoti, āraddhavīriyo hoti, paññavā hoti. When a mendicant possesses these four things their practice is unfailing, and they have laid the groundwork for ending the defilements.” Imehi kho, bhikkhave, catūhi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu apaṇṇakappaṭipadaṁ paṭipanno hoti, yoni cassa āraddhā hoti āsavānaṁ khayāyā”ti.

Paṭhamaṁ.
