Luka 18 : 10 – 14
10 Amadoda amabili enyukela ethempelini ukuyokhuleka; omunye engumFarisi, omunye engumthelisi.
11 UmFarisi wema wazikhulekela ngokuthi: “Nkulunkulu, ngiyakubonga ngokuba ngingenjengabanye abantu, abaphangi, abangalungile, iziphingi, nanjengalo mthelisi.
12 Ngizila ukudla kabili ngeviki, nginikela okweshumi kwakho konke enginakho.
13 Kodwa umthelisi emi khatshana wayengathandi lokuphakamisela amehlo akhe ezulwini, kodwa watshaya isifuba sakhe, esithi: Nkulunkulu, ngihawukele mina soni.
14 Ngithi kini: Lo wehlela endlini yakhe elungisisiwe kulomunye; lalowo ozithobayo uzaphakanyiswa.

Mathewu 23 : 1 – 39
1 Khona uJesu wakhuluma ezixukwini nakubafundi bakhe.
2 Esithi: Ababhali nabaFarisi bahlezi esihlalweni sikaMozisi;
3 Ngakho-ke konke abalitshela khona, kugcineni, likwenze; kodwa ningenzi njengemisebenzi yabo, ngokuba bayakhuluma, bangenzi.
4 Ngokuba babopha imithwalo enzima, bayibeke emahlombe abantu; kodwa bona ngokwabo abafuni ukuwanyakazisa nangomunwe wawo.
5 Kodwa yonke imisebenzi yabo bayenza ukuze babonwe ngabantu; bawenza abe banzi amafilakteriyu abo, bandise imiphetho yezingubo zabo;
6 bathanda izihlalo eziphambili ekudleni, lezihlalo eziphambili emasinagogeni;
7 nokubingelelwa ezigcawini, nokubizwa ngabantu ngokuthi Rabi, Rabi.
8 Kepha nina maningabizwa ngokuthi Rabi, ngokuba munye uMfundisi wenu, uKristu; lani lonke lingabazalwane.
9 Ningabizi muntu emhlabeni ngokuthi uyihlo, ngokuba munye uYihlo osezulwini.
10 Futhi ningabizwa ngokuthi abefundisi, ngokuba munye uMfundisi wenu, uKristu.
11 Kodwa omkhulu phakathi kwenu kabe yinceku yenu.
12 Nalowo oziphakamisayo uyathotshiswa; lalowo ozithobayo uzaphakanyiswa.
13 Kodwa maye kini, babhali labaFarisi, bazenzisi! ngokuba nivalela abantu umbuso wezulu, ngokuba aningeni nina, nabangenayo anibavumeli ukuba bangene.
14 Maye kinina babhali nabaFarisi, bazenzisi! ngokuba nidla izindlu zabafelokazi, nangokuzenzisa nenza imikhuleko emide;
15 Maye kinina babhali nabaFarisi, bazenzisi! ngoba nizungeza ulwandle nomhlaba ukwenza oyedwa ophendukela kumaJuda, futhi lapho esenziwe, nimenza umntwana wesihogo ngokuphindwe kabili kunani.
16 Maye kini, baholi abayizimpumputhe, enithi: Noma ubani ofunga ithempeli akulutho; kodwa ofunga igolide lethempeli, ulomlandu.
17 Ziwula nezimpumputhe, ngokuba yikuphi okukhulu, igolide nethempeli elingcwelisa igolide na?
18 Futhi: Ofunga i-altare akulutho; kepha ofunga umnikelo ophezu kwawo unecala.
19 Ziwula nezimpumputhe, ngokuba yikuphi okukhulu, umnikelo noma i-altare elingcwelisa umnikelo na?
20 Ngakho-ke ofunga i-altare ufunga lona nakho konke okuphezu kwalo.
21 Futhi ofunga ithempeli ufunga lona langaye ohlala kulo.
22 Nalowo ofunga izulu ufunga isihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu nohlezi phezu kwaso.
23 Maye kini, babhali nabaFarisi, bazenzisi! Ngokuba nikhokha okweshumi kweminti, neanise, nekhumini, kepha niyeke okubaluleke kakhulu zomthetho, ukwahlulela, nesihawu, nokukholwa;
24 Bakhokheli abayizimpumputhe, elihluza insensane, liginye ikamela.
25 Maye kinina babhali nabaFarisi, bazenzisi! ngokuba nihlanza ingaphandle lenkezo nesitsha, kepha ngaphakathi kugcwele ukuphanga nokuxhashazwa.
26 MFarisi oyimpumputhe, hlambulula kuqala okuphakathi kwenkezo noqwembe, ukuze kuhlanzeke nengaphandle lakho.
27 Maye kinina babhali nabaFarisi, bazenzisi! ngokuba nifana namathuna acakiwe, abonakala emahle ngaphandle, kepha ngaphakathi agcwele amathambo abafileyo nokungcola konke.
28 Kanjalo nani ngaphandle nibonakala kubantu nilungile, kepha ngaphakathi nigcwele ukuzenzisa nobubi.
29 Maye kinina babhali nabaFarisi, bazenzisi! ngokuba nakha amathuna abaprofethi, nihlobise amathuna abalungileyo;
30 nithi: Uma sasikhona emihleni yawobaba, sasingayikuhlanganyela nabo egazini labaprofethi.
31 Ngakho niyazifakazela nina ukuthi ningamadodana ababulala abaprofethi.
32 Gcwalisani-ke isilinganiso sawoyihlo.
33 Zinyoka, nzalo yamabululu, lingakubalekela njani ukulahlwa kwesihogo?
34 Ngakho-ke, bhekani, mina ngithumela kini abaprofethi, nabahlakaniphileyo, nababhali; abanye kubo niyakubashaya emasinagogeni enu, nibazingele imizi ngemizi;
35 ukuze kwehlele phezu kwenu igazi lonke elilungileyo elachithwa emhlabeni, kusukela egazini lika-Abela olungileyo kuze kufike egazini likaZakariya indodana kaBarakiya enambulala phakathi kwethempeli ne-altare.
36 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Konke lokhu kuyakufika phezu kwalesi sizukulwane.
37 Jerusalema, Jerusalema, wena obulala abaprofethi, okhanda ngamatshe abathunywe kuwe, kukangaki ngithanda ukubuthela ndawonye abantwana bakho, njengesikhukhukazi sibuthela amatshwele aso ngaphansi kwamaphiko aso, kodwa anivumanga!
38 Bhekani, indlu yenu isisala nani.
39 Ngokuba ngithi kini: Anisayikungibona kusukela manje, nize nithi: Ubusisiwe ozayo egameni leNkosi.

Luka 7 : 36 – 50
36 Omunye wabaFarisi wamcela ukuthi adle laye. Wangena endlini yomFarisi, wahlala ekudleni.
37 Bheka, owesifazane emzini, oyisoni, ekwazi ukuthi uJesu uhlezi ekudleni endlini yomFarisi, waletha umfuma wealabhaste wamafutha.
38 Wema ngasezinyaweni zakhe emva kwakhe ekhala, waqala ukugeza izinyawo zakhe ngezinyembezi, wazesula ngezinwele zekhanda lakhe, wanga izinyawo zakhe, wazigcoba ngamafutha.
39 Kwathi ekubona lokho umFarisi owayembizile, wakhuluma phakathi kwakhe, wathi: “Lona, ukuba ubengumprofethi, ngabe uyazi ukuthi ungubani nokuthi unjani owesifazane omthintayo, ngokuba uyisoni.
40 UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: Simoni, ngilelizwi kuwe. Wathi: “Khuluma, Mfundisi.
41 Kwakukhona umtshelekisi othile owayenezikweletu ezimbili;
42 Kwathi bengenanto yokukhokha, wabathethelela bobabili. Ngitshele-ke, yimuphi kubo oyakumthanda kakhulu na?
43 USimoni waphendula wathi: Ngithi ngulowo amthethelela kakhulu. Wathi kuye: Wahlulele kahle.
44 Wayesephendukela kowesifazane, wathi kuSimoni: Uyambona lona wesifazane? Ngingene endlini yakho, awunginikanga amanzi ezinyawo zami, kepha yena uzigezile izinyawo zami ngezinyembezi, wazesula ngezinwele zekhanda lakhe.
45 Awunganganga, kepha lona wesifazane, selokhu ngingenile, akayekanga ukwanga izinyawo zami.
46 Ikhanda lami awuligcobanga ngamafutha, kepha lona wesifazane ugcobe izinyawo zami ngamafutha.
47 Ngakho-ke ngithi kuwe: Izono zakhe eziningi zithethelelwe; ngokuba wayethanda kakhulu, kepha othethelelwa okuncane, uthanda kancane.
48 Wathi kuye: “Izono zakho zithethelelwe.
49 Labo ababehlezi naye ekudleni baqala ukukhuluma bodwa, bathi: “Ngubani lo othethelela nezono na?
50 Wathi kowesifazane: “Ukukholwa kwakho kukusindisile; hamba ngokuthula.

Mathewu 7 : 21 – 23
21 Akusibo bonke abathi kimi: Nkosi, Nkosi, abayakungena embusweni wezulu; kodwa lowo owenza intando kaBaba osezulwini.
22 Abaningi bayakuthi kimi ngalolo suku: Nkosi, Nkosi, asiprofethanga yini egameni lakho na? ngegama lakho bakhipha amademoni na? futhi ngegama lakho senze izimangaliso eziningi na?
23 Khona ngiyakufakaza kubo ukuthi: Angizange nginazi; sukani kimi nina benzi bokubi.

Mathewu 21 : 31 – 32
31 Ngumuphi kulaba ababili owenza intando kayise na? Bathi kuye: Eyokuqala. UJesu wathi kubo: “Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Abathelisi nezifebe bangena phambi kwenu embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
32 Ngokuba uJohane weza kini ngendlela yokulunga, anikholwanga nguye, kepha abathelisi nezifebe bakholwa nguye;

Luka 20 : 46 – 47
46 Xwayani ababhali, abathanda ukuhamba bembethe izingubo ezinde, nokubingelelwa ezigcawini, nezihlalo eziphakeme emasinagogeni, nezihlalo eziphambili ekudleni;
47 abadla izindlu zabafelokazi, nangokuzenzisa benza imithandazo emide; labo bayakwamukeliswa ukulahlwa okukhulu.

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.
