UGenesise 1 : 29 – 30
29 UNkulunkulu wathi: Bhekani, ngiyaninika zonke izimila ezithela imbewu, ezisemhlabeni wonke, nemithi yonke ethela izithelo ethela imbewu; kufanele kube ngukudla kini.
30 Kepha zonke izilwane zomhlaba, nezinyoni zonke zezulu, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni, okukhona kuzo ukuphila, ngazinika zonke izitshalo eziluhlaza zibe ngukudla. Kwenzeka kanje.
KwabaseRoma 14 : 1 – 23
1 Obuthakathaka ekukholweni mamukeleni, kodwa kungabi ngokuphikisana.
2 Ngokuba omunye ukholwa ukuthi angadla konke; omunye obuthakathaka udla imifino.
3 Odlayo makangadeleli ongadli; futhi ongadliyo makangahluleli odlayo, ngokuba uNkulunkulu umamukele.
4 Ungubani wena owahlulela inceku yomunye na? ukuma noma ukuwa enkosini yaso. Yebo, uyakuphakanyiswa, ngokuba uNkulunkulu unamandla okummisa.
5 Omunye wazisa olunye usuku kunolunye, omunye wazisa izinsuku zonke. Yilowo nalowo makaqiniseke kweyakhe ingqondo.
6 Ohlonipha usuku ulugcina eNkosini; futhi lowo ongalunanzi usuku, eNkosini. Odlayo udla eNkosini, ngokuba ubonga uNkulunkulu; nongadliyo akadli ngenxa yeNkosi, futhi ubonga uNkulunkulu.
7 Ngokuba akakho phakathi kwethu oziphilela yena, akakho ozifela yena.
8 Ngokuba noma siphila, siphilela iNkosi; noma sifa, sifela iNkosi; ngakho-ke noma siphila, noma sifa, singabeNkosi.
9 Ngoba ngenxa yalokhu uKristu wafa, wabuye wavuka, waphila, ukuze abe yiNkosi yabafileyo nabaphilayo.
10 Kepha umahlulelani umfowenu na? Udelelani umfowenu na? ngoba sonke siyakuma phambi kwesihlalo sokwahlulela sikaKristu.
11 Ngokuba kulotshiwe ukuthi: “Kuphila kwami,” isho iNkosi, “amadolo onke ayakuguqa phambi kwami, nezilimi zonke ziyakudumisa uNkulunkulu.
12 Ngakho-ke yilowo nalowo kithi uyakuziphendulela kuNkulunkulu.
13 Ngakho-ke masingabe sisahlulelana, kepha kunalokho yahlulelani lokhu, ukuba kungabikho obeka isikhubekiso noma isikhubekiso endleleni yomzalwane.
14 Ngiyazi, futhi ngiyaqiniseka eNkosini uJesu, ukuthi akukho lutho oluyichilo ngokwalo;
15 Kepha uma umfowenu edabukiswa ngokudla, awusahambi ngokothando. Ungambhubhisi ngokudla kwakho, amfelayo uKristu.
16 Ngakho okuhle kwenu makungahlanjalazwa;
17 Ngokuba umbuso kaNkulunkulu awusikho ukudla nokunatha; kodwa ukulunga, lokuthula, lenjabulo kuMoya oNgcwele.
18 Ngokuba okhonza uKristu ngalezizinto uyemukeleka kuNkulunkulu, ukholekile ebantwini.
19 Ngakho-ke kasilandeleni izinto eziletha ukuthula lezinto esingakhana ngazo.
20 Ungawuchithi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ngokudla. Zonke izinto zihlanzekile; kodwa kubi kulowomuntu odla ngokukhubeka.
21 Kuhle ukungadli inyama, nokungaliphuzi iwayini, nokunye umfowenu akhubeka ngakho, akhubeke, noma abe buthakathaka.
22 Ulokholo na? ube nakho phambi kukaNkulunkulu. Ubusisiwe ongazilahliyo kulokho akuvumelayo.
23 Ongabazayo, uma edla, ulahliwe, ngokuba engadli ngokukholwa; ngokuba konke okungaveli ekukholweni kuyisono.
U-Isaya 11 : 6 – 9
6 Impisi iyakuhlala newundlu, ingwe ibuthise nezinyane lembuzi; ithole nebhongo lengonyama nezilwane ezikhuluphalisiweyo kanyekanye; nomntwana omncane uyakuzihola.
7 Inkomo nebhere kuyoklaba; amazinyane azo abuthe ndawonye, ingonyama idle utshani njengenkabi.
8 Omunyayo uyakudlala emgodini webululu, nolunyuliweyo abeke isandla sakhe emgodini.
9 Aziyikulimaza, zingachithi yonke intaba yami engcwele, ngokuba umhlaba uyakugcwala ukumazi uJehova njengamanzi asibekela ulwandle.
