“Mendicants, there are these five faculties.

What five?

The faculties of faith, energy, mindfulness, immersion, and wisdom.

These are the five faculties.

Someone who has completed and fulfilled these five faculties is a perfected one. If they are weaker than that, they’re practicing to realize the fruit of perfection … a non-returner … practicing to realize the fruit of non-return … a once-returner … practicing to realize the fruit of once-return … a stream-enterer … practicing to realize the fruit of stream-entry.

Someone who totally and utterly lacks these five faculties stands outside in the faction of ordinary persons, I say.” ^[1]

[1] While it the five qualities of faith, etc., are found among those who are unenlightened, and even, as potential, among all beings, it is only on entering the noble path that they are considered “faculties” with the decisive power to overcome their opposites.

The expression “stands outside in the faction of ordinary persons” is found only here and SN 55.40:2.1. In both cases it indicates individuals who are not noble ones, but who nonetheless may be Buddhists. Bāhira (“outside”) here should be distinguished from the more common bāhiraka (“outsider”), which refers to non-Buddhists.
