(The increase granted to humility)
曲則全，The partial becomes complete;
枉則直，the crooked, straight;
窪則盈，the empty, full;
弊則新，the worn out, new.
少則得， He whose (desires) are few gets them;
多則惑。 he whose (desires) are many goes astray.
是以聖人抱一為天下式。Therefore the sage holds in his embrace the one thing (of humility), and manifests it to all the world.
不自見， He is free from self- display,
故明； and therefore he shines;
不自是， from self-assertion,
故彰； and therefore he is distinguished;
不自伐， from self-boasting,
故有功； and therefore his merit is acknowledged;
不自矜， from self-complacency,
故長。 and therefore he acquires superiority.
夫唯不爭，故天下莫能與之爭。It is because he is thus free from striving that therefore no one in the world is able to strive with him.
古之所謂曲則全者，That saying of the ancients that 'the partial becomes complete'
豈虛言哉！ was not vainly spoken:
誠全而歸之。 - all real completion is comprehended under it.
