Behold now, Bhikkhus, I exhort you: All compounded things are subject to decay. Strive with diligence!

Mendicants, I now impress it upon you, the parts and powers of man must be dissolved; work out your own salvation with diligence. | As quoted in Present Day Tracts on the Non-Christian Religions of the World (1887) by Sir William Muir, p. 24 | Now, then, monks, I exhort you: All fabrications are subject to decay. Bring about completion by being heedful. | translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu | Behold now, bhikkhus, I exhort you: All compounded things are subject to vanish. Strive with earnestness! | translated by Sister Vajira & Francis Story
