巫馬子謂子墨子曰：Wu Mazi criticized Mozi, saying.
「舍今之人而譽先王，"To leave contemporaries alone and to praise the early kings
是譽槁骨也。 is to praise rotten bones.
譬若匠人然，智槁木也，而不智生木。It is like the carpenter who knows only the decaying lumber but not the living tree.
子墨子曰：「天下之所以生者，以先王之道教也。Mozi: Now the world lives because of the instructions of the early kings.
今譽先王，是譽天下之所以生也。And to praise the early kings is to praise the source of life to the world.
可譽而不譽，
非1仁也。		Not to praise what should be praised is not magnanimous.
子墨子曰：「和氏之璧，隋侯之珠，三棘六異，此諸侯之所謂良寶也。Mozi said: The jade of He, the pearl of Duke Sui, and the nine dings - these are what the feudal lords value as excellent treasures.
可以富國家，眾人民，治刑政，安社稷乎？Can they enrich the country, multiply the people, put the government in order, and place the state in safety?
曰不可。Of course they cannot.
所謂貴良寶者，為其可以利也。Excellent treasures are to be valued for their efficacy.
而和氏之璧、隋侯之珠、三棘六異不可以利人，是非天下之良寶也。Now since the jade of He, the pearl of Duke Sui, and the nine dings cannot benefit men, then they are not the excellent treasures in the world.
今用義為政於國家，人民必眾，刑政必治，社稷必安。On the other hand, if righteousness is employed in the government of the state the population will be increased, the government will be in order, and the state will be secure.
所為貴良寶者，可以利民也， The excellent treasures are to be valued for their efficacy.
而義可以利人， Now righteousness can benefit men.
故曰，義天下之良寶也。」 So then righteousness is the excellent treasure of the world.
