Sevitabbasuttaṃ What One Should Associate With
“Dasahi, bhikkhave, dhammehisamannāgato
puggalo na sevitabbo.
“One should not associate with a person,
Bhikkhus, who is engaged with ten states.
Katamehi dasahi? Which are these ten states?
Micchādiṭṭhiko hoti, micchāsaṅkappo hoti,
micchāvāco hoti, micchākammanto hoti,
micchā-ājīvo hoti, micchāvāyāmo hoti,
micchāsati hoti, micchāsamādhi hoti,
micchāñāṇī hoti, micchāvimutti hoti.
It is wrong view, wrong thought, wrong speech, wrong action,
wrong livelihood, wrong effort,
wrong awareness, wrong concentration,
wrong knowledge and wrong liberation.
Imehi kho, bhikkhave, dasahi dhammehi

This is, Bhikkhus, the person engaged in ten
states one should not associate with.
Dasahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato
