44. Kathāpavatti Sutta (Elements of Coherence) Bhikkhus, someone who sees these three elements of coherence in himself, should undoubtedly teach others. What three?

He who teaches The Dhamma should experience both The Dhamma and its meaning.

He who listens to The Dhamma should experience both The Dhamma and its meaning.

And thirdly, the one teaching, as well as the one being taught, should both experience The Dhamma and its meaning.

Therefore, Bhikkhus, by possessing these three elements of coherence, one should undoubtedly teach The Dhamma.
