Bible Reading Plan – Day 329

₁₇Ngakho ngisho, ngifakaza eNkosini, ngithi ningabe nisahamba njengalokhu kuhamba abezizwe ebuzeni bengqondo yabo, ₁₈behlwelwe emqondweni, behlukanisiwe nokuphila kukaNkulunkulu ngokungazi okukubo ngenxa yobulukhuni benhliziyo yabo, ₁₉abathi bebuthuntu, bazinikela emanyaleni, ukuze basebenze ukungcola konke ngokuhuheka.

₂₀Kepha nina animfundanga uKristu kanjalo, ₂₁uma-ke nimzwile nafundiswa kuye, njengokuba iqiniso likuJesu, ₂₂ukuba nikhumule umuntu omdala ongowenkambo yokuqala, owonakala ngezinkanuko zenkohliso, ₂₃nenziwe basha emoyeni wengqondo yenu, ₂₄nembathe umuntu omusha owadalwa ngokukaNkulunkulu ekulungeni nasebungcweleni beqiniso.

₂₅Ngakho lahlani amanga, nikhulume iqiniso, yilowo nalowo nomakhelwane wakhe, lokhu singamalungu omunye komunye. ₂₆Thukuthelani ningoni; ilanga malingashoni nisathukuthele. ₂₇Ningamniki uSathane indawo. ₂₈Owebayo angabe eseba, kepha kunalokho akhuthale asebenze okuhle ngezandla zakhe, ukuze abe nokokwabela osweleyo.

₂₉Makungaphumi emlonyeni wenu nalinye izwi elibolileyo, kodwa kube ngelilungele ukwakha njengokuswelekileyo, ukuze libavezele umusa abezwayo. ₃₀Ningamdabukisi uMoya oNgcwele kaNkulunkulu enabekwa uphawu ngaye kuze kube lusuku lokuhlengwa. ₃₁Konke okubabayo, nentukuthelo, nolaka, nomsindo, nokuhlambalaza makususwe kini kanye nakho konke okubi. ₃₂Maniphathane ngobumnene, nihawukelane, nithethelelane, njengalokho noNkulunkulu wanithethelela ngoKristu.

₁Ngakho yibani ngabalingisa uNkulunkulu njengabantwana abathandekayo, ₂nihambe othandweni, njengalokho uKristu wanithanda, wazinikela ngenxa yethu, abe ngumnikelo nomhlatshelo, abe yiphunga elimnandi kuNkulunkulu.

₃Kepha ubufebe, nakho konke ukungcola, noma isangabe, makungaphathwa nangegama phakathi kwenu, njengokuba kufanele abangcwele, ₄nehlazo, nokubheda, nokulawula, okuyizinto ezingafanele, kepha kunalokho makube ngukubonga. ₅Ngokuba yazini lokhu, nikuqonde ukuthi akukho sifebe, noma ongcolileyo, noma onesangabe ongokhonza izithombe, onefa embusweni kaKristu noNkulunkulu.

₆Masingakhohliswa muntu ngamazwi ayize, ngokuba ngenxa yalezo zinto ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lwehlela phezu kwabantwana bokungalaleli. ₇Ngakho-ke ningabi ngabahlanganyela nabo.

₈Ngokuba kade naningubumnyama, kepha manje ningukukhanya eNkosini; hambani njengabantwana bokukhanya, ₉ngokuba izithelo zokukhanya zisebuhleni bonke nasekulungeni naseqinisweni, ₁₀nihlole ukuthi kuyini okuthandeka eNkosini, ₁₁ningahlanganyeli imisebenzi yobumnyama engenazithelo, kepha kunalokho niyidalule; ₁₂ngokuba okwenziwa yibo ngasese kuyihlazo nokukhuluma ngakho. ₁₃Kepha konke okudalulwayo kubonakaliswa ngukukhanya, ngokuba konke okubonakaliswayo kungukukhanya. ₁₄Ngalokho uthi:

₁₅Ngakho-ke bhekisisani ukuthi nihamba kanjani, kungabi njengabangahlakaniphile kepha njengabahlakaniphileyo, ₁₆nithengisise isikhathi, ngokuba izinsuku zimbi. ₁₇Ngakho-ke ningabi yiziwula, kodwa qondani okuyintando yeNkosi. ₁₈Ningadakwa yiwayini, kuvela kulo umhumheko, kodwa nigcwaliswe ngoMoya, ₁₉niphendulane ngamahubo nangezihlabelelo nangamaculo okomoya, nihlabelele, nihubele iNkosi enhliziyweni yenu, ₂₀nimbonge njalo uNkulunkulu uYise ngakho konke egameni leNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, ₂₁nithobelane ngokumesaba uKristu.

₂₂Abafazi mabathobele amadoda abo kungathi kukuyo iNkosi, ₂₃ngokuba indoda iyinhloko yomfazi, njengokuba noKristu uyinhloko yebandla, yena engumsindisi womzimba. ₂₄Kepha njengokuba ibandla lithobela uKristu, kanjalo nabafazi mabathobele amadoda ezintweni zonke.

₂₅Madoda, thandani omkenu, njengalokho noKristu ulithandile ibandla, wazinikela ngenxa yalo ₂₆ukuba alingcwelise, alihlambulule ngesigezo samanzi ngezwi, ₂₇ukuze azimisele ibandla elinenkazimulo, lingenasisihla, nambimbi, nanto enjalo, kodwa libe ngcwele lingenacala. ₂₈Kanjalo amadoda afanele ukuthanda omkawo njengemizimba yawo. Othanda umkakhe uzithanda yena. ₂₉Ngokuba akakho owake wazonda eyakhe inyama, kepha uyayondla, ayiphathe kahle, njengalokhu noKristu enza kulo ibandla; ₃₀ngokuba singamalungu omzimba wakhe. ₃₁Ngenxa yalokho umuntu uyakushiya uyise nonina, anamathele kumkakhe; labo ababili bayakuba nyamanye. ₃₂Le mfihlakalo inkulu, kepha ngikhuluma ngoKristu nebandla. ₃₃Nani-ke, yilowo nalowo makathande umkakhe njengokuba ezithanda yena, kepha umfazi makahloniphe indoda yakhe.

₁Bantwana, lalelani abazali benu eNkosini, ngokuba lokho kulungile. ₂Yazisa uyihlo nonyoko, okungumyalelo wokuqala onesithembiso: ₃ukuze kube kuhle kuwe, uhlale kade emhlabeni. ₄Nani boyise, ningabathukuthelisi abantwana benu, kodwa nibondle ngokuyala nangokuqondisa kweNkosi.

₅Zinceku, abangamakhosi enu ngokwenyama, balaleleni ngokwesaba nokuthuthumela ngobuqotho benhliziyo yenu kungathi kukuKristu, ₆ningathengi amehlo njengabathokozisa abantu, kodwa njengezinceku zikaKristu nenze intando kaNkulunkulu ngenhliziyo, ₇nikhonze ngothando kungathi kuseNkosini kungekubantu, ₈nazi ukuthi konke okuhle yilowo nalowo akwenzayo, uzakukwamukela okunjalo eNkosini, noma eyinceku noma engokhululekileyo.

₉Nani makhosi, yenzani okunjalo kuzo, niyeke ukusongela, nazi ukuthi neyazo neyenu iNkosi isezulwini nokuthi ukukhetha umuntu akukho kuye.

₁₀Elokugcina, qinani eNkosini nasemandleni ayo amakhulu. ₁₁Hlomani izikhali zonke zikaNkulunkulu, ukuze nibe namandla okumelana namaqhinga kaSathane; ₁₂ngokuba asibambene negazi nenyama, kodwa sibambene nemibuso, namandla, nababusi bezwe balobu bumnyama, nabawomoya bobubi emkhathini. ₁₃Ngakho hlomani izikhali zonke zikaNkulunkulu ukuba nibe namandla okuzabalaza ngosuku olubi, nalapho senifeze konke, nime. ₁₄Ngakho yimani izinkalo zenu ziboshiwe ngeqiniso, nifakile isivikelo sesifuba sokulunga, ₁₅izinyawo zigqokisiwe ukulungela kukho ukushumayela ivangeli lokuthula; ₁₆kukho konke nithathe isihlangu sokukholwa eniyakuba namandla okucima ngaso yonke imicibisholo evuthayo yomubi, ₁₇namukele futhi isigqoko sensindiso, nenkemba kaMoya eyizwi likaNkulunkulu, ₁₈ngokukhuleka konke nokunxusa, nikhuleka ngezikhathi zonke ngoMoya; kulokho nilinde ngesineke sonke nangokunxusela abangcwele bonke, ₁₉ninginxusele nami ukuba ngiphiwe izwi, nxa ngivula umlomo wami, ngize ngiyishumayele ngesibindi imfihlakalo yevangeli; ₂₀engiyisithunywa ngalo esiboshiwe ngamaketanga, ukuze ngikhulume ngesibindi ngalo, njengokuba kufanele ukuba ngikhulume.

₂₁Kepha ukuba nani nazi okuqondene nami nalokhu engikwenzayo, uyakunazisa konke uThikhiku, umzalwane othandekayo nesikhonzi esikholekileyo eNkosini, ₂₂engamthumela kini ngakho lokho ukuba nazi izindaba zethu, nokuba aduduze izinhliziyo zenu.

₂₃Ukuthula makube kubazalwane, nothando kanye nokukholwa okuvela kuNkulunkulu uYise naseNkosini uJesu Kristu. ₂₄Umusa mawube nabo bonke abathanda iNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu ngokunganqamukiyo.
