Verse 318
Those who imagine evil where there is none, and do not see evil where it is—upholding false views, they go to states of woe
Verse 319
Those who discern the wrong as wrong and the right as right—upholding right views, they go to realms of bliss.

Dhammapada Verses 316 & 317: Seeing
Verse 316
Those who are ashamed of what they should not be ashamed of, and are not ashamed of what they should be ashamed of—upholding false views, they go to states of woe.
Verse 317
Those who see something to fear where there is nothing to fear, and see nothing to fear where there is something to fear—upholding false views, they go to states of woe.

Dhammapada Verse 315: Guarding The Moment
Verse 315
Just as a border city is closely guarded both within and without, even so, guard yourself. Do not let slip this opportunity (for spiritual growth). For those who let slip this opportunity grieve indeed when consigned to hell.
