1 kaPetru 2 : 1 – 25
1 Ngakho lahlani ububi bonke, nobuqili bonke, nokuzenzisa, nomhawu, nakho konke ukuhleba;
2 Njengezingane ezisanda kuzalwa langazelelani ubisi lwezwi olungenakonakala, ukuze nikhule ngalo;
3 uma-ke ninambithile ukuthi iNkosi inomusa.
4 Okuza kuye njengetshe eliphilayo, elaliwayo ngempela ngabantu, kodwa elikhethiweyo nguNkulunkulu, eliyigugu;
5 Nani njengamatshe aphilayo nakhiwe nibe yindlu yomoya, ubupristi obungcwele, ukuze ninikele imihlatshelo yomoya eyamukelekayo kuNkulunkulu ngoJesu Kristu.
6 Ngakho-ke kukhona embhalweni ukuthi: Bheka, ngibeka eSiyoni itshe legumbi elikhethiweyo, eliyigugu; okholwa yiyo akayikujabhiswa.
7 Ngakho kini enikholwayo uligugu, kepha kwabangalaleli itshe abakhi abalalayo, yilo laba yinhloko yegumbi;
8 netshe lokukhubekisa, nedwala lokuwisa, kwabakhubekayo ngezwi ngokungalilaleli, ababemiselwe lokho futhi.
9 Kepha nina niluhlanga olukhethiweyo, ubupristi obobukhosi, isizwe esingcwele, abantu abazuziweyo; ukuze nishumayele ubukhosi balowo owanibiza niphume ebumnyameni, ningene ekukhanyeni kwakhe okumangalisayo;
10 enanikade ningesiso isizwe, kepha manje ningabantu bakaNkulunkulu, enaningahawukelwanga, kepha manje nihawukelwe.
11 Bathandekayo, ngiyanincenga njengabafokazi nezihambi ukuba nidede ezinkanukweni zenyama ezilwa nomphefumulo;
12 nibe nenkambo enhle phakathi kwabezizwe, ukuze kuthi, benihleba ngathi ningabenzi bokubi, babone imisebenzi yenu emihle abayoyibona, badumise uNkulunkulu ngosuku lokuhanjelwa.
13 Zithobeni kuzo zonke izimiso zabantu ngenxa yeNkosi: noma kusenkosini, njengophakeme;
14 noma kubabusi njengabathunywe nguye ukujezisa abenzi bokubi, batuswe abenza okuhle.
15 Ngokuba injalo intando kaNkulunkulu, ukuba ngokwenza okuhle nithulise ukungazi kwabantu abayiziwula;
16 njengabakhululekileyo, njalo lingasebenzisi inkululeko yenu njengesigubuzelo sobubi, kodwa njengezinceku zikaNkulunkulu.
17 Hloniphani abantu bonke. Thandani ubuzalwane. Mesabeni uNkulunkulu. Hlonipha inkosi.
18 Nina zinceku, thobelani amakhosi enu ngokwesaba konke; kungeyisikho kwabalungileyo labamnene kuphela, kodwa lakwabakhohlakeleyo.
19 Ngoba lokhu kuyabongeka, uba umuntu ngenxa kanembeza kuNkulunkulu ethwala usizi, ehlupheka ngokungafanele.
20 Ngokuba kuludumo luni, uma nibekezela nishaywa ngenxa yokona na? kepha uma nenza kahle nihlupheka ngenxa yalokho, nikubekezelela, lokho kuyabongeka kuNkulunkulu.
21 Ngokuba nabizelwa lokho, ngokuba uKristu wahlupheka ngenxa yethu, esishiyela isibonelo sokuba nilandele ezinyathelweni zakhe;
22 ongonanga, nenkohliso ayitholwanga emlonyeni wakhe;
23 owathi ethukwa, akaphindanga athuke; lapho ehlupheka, akasongelanga; kodwa wayezinikele kuye owahlulela ngokulunga.
24 Yena owathwala izono zethu emzimbeni wakhe emthini, ukuze thina sesifile ezonweni siphile ekulungeni, omivimbo yakhe naphulukiswa ngayo.
25 Ngokuba naninjengezimvu ezidukayo; kodwa manje selibuyele kuMalusi noMbonisi wemiphefumulo yenu.

1 kuThimothewu 2 : 1 – 15
1 Ngakho-ke kuqala kukho konke ngiyala ukuba ukunxusa, nokukhuleka, nokunxusa, nokubonga kwenzelwe abantu bonke;
2 Ngeyamakhosi, nakubo bonke abakhulu; ukuze siphile impilo ezolileyo lenokuthula kukho konke ukuhlonipha uNkulunkulu lobuqotho.
3 Ngokuba lokhu kuhle, kuyabongeka phambi kukaNkulunkulu uMsindisi wethu;
4 Othanda ukuba bonke abantu basindiswe, bafinyelele olwazini lweqiniso.
5 Ngokuba munye uNkulunkulu, munye nomlamuleli phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nabantu, umuntu uKristu Jesu;
6 owazinikela abe yinhlawulo yabo bonke, kube ngubufakazi ngesikhathi esifaneleyo.
7 Engamiselwa ngakho ukuthi ngibe ngumshumayeli nomphostoli (ngikhuluma iqiniso ngoKristu, angiqambi amanga), umfundisi wabezizwe ekukholweni naseqinisweni.
8 Ngakho-ke ngithanda ukuba amadoda akhuleke ezindaweni zonke, ephakamisa izandla ezingcwele, ngaphandle kolaka nokungabaza.
9 Kanjalo nabesifazane mabagqoke izingubo ezifaneleyo, bazihlobise ngokuhlonipha nokuqonda; kungabi ngezinwele ezalukiweyo, negolide, namaparele, nezambatho ezinenani elikhulu;
10 Kodwa (okufanele abesifazane abathi besaba uNkulunkulu) benze imisebenzi emihle.
11 Owesifazane makafunde ethule ngokuzithoba konke.
12 Kepha angimvumeli owesifazane ukuba afundise, nokuba abuse phezu kwendoda, kodwa ukuba athule.
13 Ngokuba u-Adamu wabunjwa kuqala, kwase kuba u-Eva.
14 Futhi u-Adamu akakhohliswanga, kodwa owesifazane ekhohlisiwe waba esonweni.
15 Nokho uyakusindiswa ngokuzala abantwana, uma behlala ekukholweni nasothandweni nasebungcweleni kanye nokuqonda.
