      自[1]诚明,谓之性;自明诚,谓之教。
诚则明矣,明则诚矣。

      When we have intelligence resulting from
sincerity, this condition is to be ascribed to nature;
when we have sincerity resulting from intelligence,
this condition is to be ascribed to instruction.
But given the sincerity, and there shall be the
intelligence; given the intelligence, and there shall be
the sincerity.

【注释】[1]自:介词,从。

【译文】从真诚而自然明道,叫作天性;从明
道做到真诚,叫作教育。真诚就会自然明道,
明道也就会做到真诚。
