Londvolotani inkhululeko yenu
1Khristu wasikhululela kutsi sihlale sikhululekile. Manini-ke, nicine, ningaphindzi niboshelwe ejokeni lebugcili.
2Ase nginitjele, mine Pawula, ngitsi kini: Nanemukela kusoka, Khristu angeke abe nelusito kini. 3Ngiyafakaza futsi kunobe ngubani wekusoka kutsi ubophelekile ekwenteni konkhe lokufunwa ngumtsetfo. 4Nine lenifuna kwemukeleka kuNkulunkulu kutsi nilungile ngekwenta lokufunwa ngumtsetfo nitehlukanisile naKhristu, ningephandle kwemusa waNkulunkulu. 5Tsine-ke sinelitsemba kutsi sitakwemukeleka kuNkulunkulu kutsi silungile, loko sikulindzele ngemandla aMoya Longcwele losebenta ngekukholwa. 6Ngobe kuKhristu Jesu kusoka nekungasoki akunamsebenti, kodvwa kuphela kukholwa lokusebenta ngelutsandvo.
7Benigijima kahle! Pho, ngubani lona losanivimbele kutfobela liciniso? 8Lokukhohliseka akuveli kuye lowanibita. 9Khumbulani naku: “Sibiliso lesincane nje lesibilisa yonkhe inhlama.” 10Ngisenelitsemba ngani eNkhosini kutsi ningeke niwutsatse lomunye umcondvo; kodvwa lowo lonihluphako uyakwetfwala sijeziso sakhe, nome ngangubani.
11Kodvwa, bazalwane, nangabe mine ngisashumayela kusoka, pho, ngisahlushelwani? Kube bekunjalo ngabe sesisusiwe lesikhubekiso lesisiphambano. 12Ngifisa shangatsi labo labaniphatamisako bangatiphakula bona!
13Ngobe bazalwane, nabitelwa enkhululekweni; kuphela nje ningayisebentisi inkhululeko yenu kunika ematfuba ekwenta sono, kodvwa khontanani ngelutsandvo lomunye kulomunye. 14Ngobe wonkhe umtsetfo upheleliswe evini linye lelitsi: “Ubotsandza makhelwane wakho njengobe utitsandza wena.” 15Kodvwa nanilumana nidlane nodvwana, nibocaphela kutsi ningacedzani.
Titselo taMoya nemisebenti yenyama
16Kodvwa ngitsi: Hambani ngaMoya, khona ningetiwufeza tinkhanuko tenyama. 17Ngobe inyama ikhanuka lokuphambene naMoya, naMoya, uphambene nenyama, ngobe kokubili kuyaphikisana, kuze ningetikwenta lenikutsandzako. 18Kodvwa naniholwa nguMoya, anikho ngaphansi kwemtsetfo.
19Phela imisebenti yenyama isebaleni, ngulena: bugwadla, nebuphingi, nekungcola, nemanyala, 20nekukhonta tithico, nekutsakatsa, nebutsa, nenkhani, nemona, nelulaka, nekubanga, nekwehlukana, nekuhlubuka, 21nekuhawukela, nekudzakwa, nebudli, naletinye tintfo letifanana naleti lenganitjela ngato kucala, kutsi labo labenta letintfo bangeke balidle lifa lembuso waNkulunkulu.
22Kodvwa titselo taMoya nguleti: lutsandvo, nekujabula, nekuthula, nekubeketela, nebubele, nekulunga, nekwetsembeka, 23nekutfobeka, nekutibamba; kute umtsetfo lophambene naletintfo. 24BaKhristu Jesu bayibetsele esiphambanweni inyama nekushangashanga kwayo kanye netinkhanuko tayo. 25Njengobe siphila kuMoya, ngako asihambe ngaMoya. 26Asingafuni ludvumo lolulite, singacansulani, futsi singabi nemona lomunye kulomunye.
