3Hlanganyela kanye nami ekuhluphekeni njengelisotja lelilungile laKhristu Jesu. 4Kute lisotja lelisemphini lelibuye litikhatsate ngetintfo letingesito tebusotja; phela injongo yalo kwenelisa lowo lolibutsile. 5Futsi nemdlali, nakangawugcini umtsetfo wemdlalo, akawiniswa. 6Ngumlimi losebenta kamatima lekufanele atfole kucala sabelo esivunweni. 7Cabangisisa loku lengikushoko, ngobe iNkhosi itakupha kucondzisisa konkhe.
8Khumbula Jesu Khristu wesitukulwane saDavide, lowavuswa kulabafile, njengobe ngiyaye ngisho nangishumayela liVangeli. 9Ngilo leliVangeli lengilihluphekelako, ngidzimate ngaboshwa nangetinketane, kwaba shangatsi ngisigebengu. Kepha noko livi laNkulunkulu alikaboshwa. 10Ngako-ke ngicinisela kuko konkhe ngenca yalabakhetsiwe, kuze kutsi nabo batekwemukela insindziso lekuKhristu Jesu baphiwe nebukhosi baphakadze. 11Letsembekile lelivi lelitsi:

12Nasicinisela, siyawubusa kanye naye;
nasimphika, naye futsi uyawusiphika.
13Nasingetsembeki,
yena uhlala etsembekile,
ngobe angeke atiphikise.”
Sisebenti lesetsembekile
14Khumbuta bantfu ngaloku, ubayale embikwaNkulunkulu kutsi bangaphikisani ngemavi langasiti lutfo, kodvwa lasicitfo kulabawevako. 15Khutsalela kutiveta wemukelekile kuNkulunkulu, ube sisebenti lesetsembekile kuye lesite emahloni nalesiliphakela kahle livi leliciniso. 16Kodvwa utigege tinkhulumo telive letilite, ngobe tibanga kungamesabi Nkulunkulu. 17Inkhulumo yabo iyawubhidlika njengesilondza semgubho lesincincako. Emkhatsini wabo kukhona boHumenayosi naFiletusi, 18lese baphambukile ecinisweni batsi kuvuka kulabafile sekwendlula. Bacitsisa labanye kukholwa kwabo. 19Kodvwa sisekelo lesimiswe nguNkulunkulu solomane simile, sineluphawu lolutsi: “INkhosi iyabati lababayo,” nekutsi: “Wonkhe umuntfu lotibita ngelibito leNkhosi akakhweshe kulokubi.”
20Endlini lenkhulu akuhlali titja tegolide netesiliva kuphela, kodvwa kukhona netelugodvo, netelibumba. Letinye tihloniphekile, letinye tekusetjentiswa nje nome kunini. 21Nangabe umuntfu atihlanta yena angabi sitja sekusetjentiswa nje nome kunini, uyabe sewuba sitja lesihloniphekile lesingcweliswe sadzimate safanela umniyo wendlu, size silungele nome ngumuphi umsebenti lomuhle. 22Ngako-ke balekela tinkhanuko tebusha, kodvwa hambisana nalabo labakhuleka eNkhosini ngenhlitiyo lehlambululekile, ujonge kulunga, nekukholwa, nelutsandvo, nekuthula. 23Kodvwa ungakunaki kuphikisana kwebulima lokungenasisekelo, ngobe uyati nawe kutsi kubanga kucabana. 24Sisebenti seNkhosi asikafaneli kutsi silwe, kodvwa sifanele kutsi sibe mnene kubo bonkhe bantfu, sibe nelisu lekufundzisa, sibeketele, 25sibayale ngemoya lomnene labo labamelene naso, mhlawumbe Nkulunkulu angabanika kuphendvuka, badzimate balati liciniso, 26baze basanguluke etingcondvweni tabo, baphunyule elugibeni lwaSathane, lowabagcilata kuze bente intsandvo yakhe.
