《新唐书·列传·卷二十五》
当时法纪混乱，宇文述、虞世基当权，人们用贿赂手段升官，惟独裴矩坚守节操没有不洁的名声，人们很是称赞他。
时纲纪汩振，宇文述、虞世基用事，官以贿迁，唯矩挺节无秽声，世颇称之。
At that time, laws and regulations were in chaos, and Yuwen Shu and Yu Shiji were in power. People used bribes to get promoted. Pei Ju, however, adhered to his principles and did not engage in corruption. He was highly praised by the people.
