善者吾善之；不善者吾亦善之，德善.信者吾信之；不信者，吾亦信之，德信。
Of the good man I approve, but of the bad I also approve, and thus he gets goodness. #2 The truthful man I believe, but the liar I also believe, and thus he gets truthfulness.
圣人在天下怵怵,为天下浑其心，百姓皆注其耳目，圣人皆孩之。
The Sage, in the dealings with the world, seems like one dazed with fright; for the world's sake he dulls his wits. #2 The Hundred Families all the time strain their eyes and ears, the Sage all the time sees and hears no more than an infant sees and hears.
生之徒，十有三；死之徒，十有三；人之生，动之死地，亦十有三。
If the “companions of life” are thirteen, so likewise are the “companions of death” thirteen. ^+1How is it that the “death-stops” in man's life and activity are also thirteen?
以其生生之厚。
It is because men feed life too grossly.
盖闻善摄生者，陆行不遇兕虎，入军不被甲兵；无所投其角，虎无所措其爪，兵无所容其刃。
It is said that he who has a true hold on life, when he walks on land does not meet tigers or wild buffaloes; in battle he is not touched by weapons of war. #2 Indeed, a buffalo that attacked him would find nothing for its horns to butt, a tiger would find nothing for its claws to tear, a weapon would find no place for its point to enter in.
以其无死地。
Because such men have no “death-spot” in them.
