Kutsandzana nelive
1Letimphi nalokulwa kuphumaphi emkhatsini wenu? Akuchamuki yini etinkhanukweni tenu letilwa etitfweni tenu? 2Niyafisa, noko anitfoli lutfo; niyabulala, nibe nemona, kodvwa niyehluleka kutfola lenikufunako. Niyalwa, nente timphi. Aninalutfo, ngobe aniceli.
3Niyacela ningaphiwa, ngobe nicela kabi, nicelela kutsi nikucitse etinkhanukweni tenu. 4Aniketsembeki, ninjengetiphingi. Anati yini kutsi kutsandzana nelive kubutsa kuNkulunkulu? Lofisa kuba ngumngani welive, utenta sitsa kuNkulunkulu. 5Nome-ke nicabanga kutsi kulite yini loku lokushiwo ngumBhalo, kutsi: “LoMoya, lambeka kitsi Nkulunkulu uyafutselana, kantsi futsi unesikhwele ngatsi”? 6Kodvwa Nkulunkulu wephana ngemusa lomkhulu, ngako umBhalo utsi: “Nkulunkulu umelana nalabatigcabhako, kepha labatfobekile ubapha umusa.”
7Ngako-ke tfobelani Nkulunkulu, kodvwa nimelane naSathane, uyawunibalekela. 8Sondzelani kuNkulunkulu, naye utawusondzela kini. Gezani tandla tenu, nine toni, nihlambulule tinhlitiyo tenu, nine bantfu labanetinhlitiyo letimbili. 9Khatsatekani, nidzabuke, nilile; kuhleka kwenu akugucuke kube kulila, nekujabula kwenu akube kujabha. 10Titfobeni embikweNkhosi, yona-ke iyawuniphakamisa.
Secwayiso ngekwehlulela umzalwane longumKhristu
11Bazalwane, ningahlebani. Lowo lohleba umzalwane nome ehlulele umzalwane wakhe, uhleba umtsetfo ehlulele umtsetfo. Nangabe wehlulela umtsetfo, awusiye umenti wemtsetfo, kodvwa ungumehluleli wawo. 12Munye loshaya umtsetfo, nguye futsi longumehluleli nalonemandla ekusindzisa nekubhubhisa. Kodvwa wena ungubani kutsi ungehlulela makhelwane wakho?
Secwayiso ngekutigabatisa
13Labanye benu banemkhuba wekutsi: “Lamuhla nakusasa sitakuya kulela dolobha, sihlale umnyaka, sitsenge sitsengise, bese sitfola inzuzo.” 14Ningakusho kanjani loko, njengobe ningalati likusasa lekuphila kwenu kutsi litawuba yini? Ngobe kuphila kwenu kunjengenkhungu, lechamuka ibonakale sikhashana, iphindze inyamalale. 15Esikhundleni saloko ngabe nitsi: “INkhosi nayivuma, sitawuphila sente loku nalokwa.” 16Kepha manje niyatibonga ngekutigabatisa kwenu. Konkhe kutigabatisa lokunjalo kubi.
17Ngako-ke lokwatiko kwenta lokuhle kodvwa angakwenti, uyona.
