[138] Bhikkhus, those bhikkhus who explain a light offense (āpatti) as "a light offense" … who explain a grave offense as "a grave offense" … who explain a gross offense as "a gross offense" … who explain an offense that is not gross as "an offense that is not gross" … who explain an offense with remainder as "an offense with remainder" … who explain an offense without remainder as "an offense without remainder" … who explain an offense that can be remedied as "an offense that can be remedied" … who explain an offense that cannot be remedied as "an offense that cannot be remedied" — those bhikkhus, bhikkhus, are practicing for the welfare of the many, for the happiness of the many, for the good, welfare, and happiness of many people, of devas and humans. Those bhikkhus, bhikkhus, generate much merit, and they establish this true Dhamma (saddhamma).
