亲仁
This is the sixth major chapter for students. 'Qin,' is close. 'Ren,' benevolence, means a person with morals and learning, this is a 'qinren' person. One must acknowledge a teacher, and want to study with him. If one chooses a teacher, benevolence is invincible.
同时人类不齐
流俗众仁者稀
All people on earth are human, but their morals differ. Most ordinary people follow the trends, truly kind and benevolent people are rare.
果仁者人多畏
言不讳色不媚
Truly moral and noble people are feared and cherished by most other people. Because they are outspoken when they speak and don't flatter others.
能亲仁无限好
德日进过日少
If you are close to and able to learn from a moral and noble person, you will have boundless benefits. Day by day your morals will grow and your mistakes will be reduced.
不亲仁无限害
小人进百事坏
If you are not close to and do not learn from a moral and noble person, you will have boundless harms. Lowly people will seize an opportunity to approach you and you will not be able to achieve a lot of things.
