仲弓问仁。子曰，出门如见大宾，使民如承大祭，己所不欲，勿施于人，在邦无怨，在家无怨。仲弓曰，雍虽不敏，请事斯语矣。
Modern Chinese Guide
仲弓请教什么是仁。孔子说：出门办事要像接待贵宾一样恭敬，役使百姓要像承办重大祭祀一样慎重；自己不愿意要的，不要强加给别人。这样，在诸侯之国做事不会招来怨恨，在卿大夫之家做事也不会招来怨恨。仲弓说：我冉雍虽然不够聪敏，也要照这话去做。
James Legge Translation
Chung-kung asked about perfect virtue. The Master said, "It is, when you go abroad, to behave to every one as if you were receiving a great guest; to employ the people as if you were assisting at a great sacrifice; not to do to others as you would not wish done to yourself; to have no murmuring against you in the country, and none in the family." Chung-kung said, "Though I am deficient in intelligence and vigour, I will make it my business to practise this lesson."
