本文試從《論語．子路篇》之編著體例著手，以章句之間的對應關係解釋各章句之主旨。本文認為，〈子路篇〉首章為全篇總綱，餘下諸章則是對著這條總綱加以論說。若〈子路篇〉在章句之間確有這樣的對應關係，則每章之句字，將可由這對應關係而清楚地解釋。本文發現，〈子路篇〉之總綱為：「先之」、「勞之」、「無倦」。第二、三章對應「先之」，論「先之」之內容：「先有司」（對事）及「正名」（對人）；第四章至第二十八章論「正名」。最後的兩章則論「勞之」、「無倦」。本文即依此加以解說。

This paper attempts to elaborate the subject of each chapter according to the correspondence among every chapter in Zi-Lu of the Analects of Confucius. Based on this, each sentence or word in every chapter can be interpreted distinctly. This article holds that the first chapter in Zi-Lu is the general outline, and other chapters discourse toward the first one. This article found out that the general outline of Zi-Lu is ＂先之＂, ＂勞之＂, ＂無倦＂. Except theses chapters (the first and the last two chapters), the other ones explain what is ＂先之＂. ＂先之＂ has two:＂先有司＂ and ＂正名＂. The content of ＂正名＂ is 禮, 義, 信. The last two chapters explains ＂勞之＂ and ＂無倦＂.
