KWABASE-EFESE 2

₁Benifudula nifile emoyeni ngenxa yeemposiso nokona, ₂ngokuya naniziphethe ngendlela yeli hlabathi. Naniphantsi komtyholi, umphathi wamagunya asesibhakabhakeni noweempembelelo ezilawula abo bangamthobeliyo uThixo. ₃Eneneni besinjalo sonke; besifudula silawulwa ziinkanuko zesimo sethu esidala, silandela nayiphi na iminqweno neengcinga zethu. Njengamntu wonke ke okuloo meko besiphantsi kwengqumbo kaThixo.

₄Kodwa ke uThixo onceba inkulu, ngenxa yendlela asithanda ngayo, ₅usidlise ubomi kunye noKrestu, naxa besinjengabafileyo nje ngenxa yezono zethu. Kambe ke nakhululwa ngenxa yesisa sikaThixo. ₆Njengoko simanyene noKrestu Yesu nje, uThixo usivuse ekufeni, saza saya kutsho ezulwini kunye noYesu. ₇Wênjenjalo ukuze ngamaxesha onke ahlale esibonisa ubukhulu besisa nobubele bakhe, thina bamanywe noYesu Krestu. ₈Ke kaloku nakhululwa ngesisa sikaThixo ngokholo; anikhululwanga ngemizamo yenu. Ewe, kungenxa yesisa sikaThixo. ₉Ngoko ke akukho nto ubani angaziqhayisa ngayo, kungekho migudu yakhe nje. ₁₀Singumsebenzi wezandla zikaThixo ke thina.

Kwakusithiwa ningabangalukanga ngabo bolwaluko (lwaluko olo lulisiko nje langaphandle). ₁₂Kaloku ngelo xesha nanikude kuKrestu. Naningenabudlelane nemilowo yakwaSirayeli. Naningaphandle kweminqophiso nezithembiso zikaThixo. Naningenathemba, ningenaThixo kweli hlabathi. ₁₃Kodwa ngoku, ngokumanywa noKrestu, nina kanye enanikade nikude lee, nisondeziwe ngokuphalala kwegazi likaKrestu. ₁₄Kuba kaloku nguye umxolelanisi. Iintlanga namaJuda uzenze zasisizwe esinye. Yena buqu waludiliza udonga lobutshaba obelusahlule. ₁₅Kaloku uwubhangisile umthetho nemiyalelo kwanemimiselo yawo, ukuze ngezi zizwe zibini adale isizwe esitsha esimanywe naye ngokwakhe. Ngaloo ndlela ke udale uxolo. ₁₆Ewe, ngomnqamlezo wakhe uKrestu ububhangisile ubutshaba, waza ezi zizwe zibini wazixolelanisa zayimbumba yamanyama kuThixo. ₁₇Ngoko ke weza washumayela iindaba ezimnandi zoxolo, kuni nina babekade bekude, nakwabo bebekufutshane kakade. ₁₈Kaloku sonke, amaJuda kwaneentlanga, singena ngoKrestu, siye kufikelela kuBawo ngenkqu, sikuMoya omnye.

₁₉Ngoko ke, nani zintlanga, anisengabo abasemzini neendwendwe. Niyimilowo nabantu bakaThixo; nilusapho lukaThixo. ₂₀Nani ke nakhelwe phezu kwesiseko *sabathunywa *nabashumayeli, kodwa ke elona litye lesiseko nguYesu Krestu ngokwakhe. ₂₁Ungoyena usixhasayo isakhiwo xa sisonke, ukuze sikhule sibe yindlu engcwele yeNkosi. ₂₂Ngokumanywa naye ke nani niyakhiwa nikunye nabanye, ukuze nibe sisakhiwo ahlala kuso uThixo ngoMoya.
