Bad conduct by way of body, speech, and mind.

Ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo dhammā.

These are the three things.

Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, tiṇṇaṁ dhammānaṁ pahānāya tayo dhammā bhāvetabbā.

To give up these three things you should develop three things.

Kāyaduccaritassa pahānāya kāyasucaritaṁ bhāvetabbaṁ, vacīduccaritassa pahānāya vacīsucaritaṁ bhāvetabbaṁ, manoduccaritassa pahānāya manosucaritaṁ bhāvetabbaṁ.

You should develop good bodily conduct to give up bad bodily conduct, good verbal conduct to give up bad verbal conduct, and good mental conduct to give up bad mental conduct.
