This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.

Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:

“This one thing, mendicants, when developed and cultivated, secures equal benefits for both this life and lives to come. What one thing? Diligence in skillful qualities. This is the one thing that, when developed and cultivated, secures equal benefits for both this life and lives to come.” The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said:

“Ekadhammo, bhikkhave, bhāvito bahulīkato ubho atthe samadhigayha tiṭṭhati— diṭṭhadhammikañceva atthaṁ samparāyikañca. Katamo ekadhammo? Appamādo kusalesu dhammesu. Ayaṁ kho, bhikkhave, ekadhammo bhāvito bahulīkato ubho atthe samadhigayha tiṭṭhati— diṭṭhadhammikañceva atthaṁ samparāyikañcā”ti. Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“The astute praise diligence in making merit. Being diligent, an astute person secures both benefits:

“Appamādaṁ pasaṁsanti, puññakiriyāsu paṇḍitā; Appamatto ubho atthe, adhigaṇhāti paṇḍito.

the benefit in this life, and in lives to come. Attentive, comprehending the meaning, they are said to be astute.”

Diṭṭhe dhamme ca yo attho, yo cattho samparāyiko; Atthābhisamayā dhīro, paṇḍitoti pavuccatī”ti.

This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti. Tatiyaṁ.
