3 Wasesithi umphathi phakathi kwakhe: Ngizakwenzani? ngokuba inkosi yami ingaphuca ubuphathi; ukuncenga nginamahloni.
4 Sengikwazi engizakwenza, ukuze, nxa ngikhutshwa ebuphathini, bangamukele ezindlini zabo.
5 Wababizela kuye bonke abanamacala enkosini yakhe, wathi kowokuqala: ‘Unecala elingakanani enkosini yami na?
6 Wasesithi: Izilinganiso eziyikhulu zamafutha. Wathi kuye: Thatha incwadi yakho, uhlale phansi masinyane, ulobe amashumi ayisihlanu.
7 Wasesithi komunye: Wena-ke unecala elingakanani? Wathi: Izilinganiso eziyikhulu zikakolweni. Wathi kuye: Thatha incwadi yakho, ulobe amashumi ayisishiyagalombili.
8 Inkosi yamtusa umphathi ongalungile, ngokuba wenze ngokuhlakanipha; ngokuba abantwana balesi sikhathi bahlakaniphile esizukulwaneni sabo kunabantwana bokukhanya.
9 Nami ngithi kini: Zenzeleni nina abangane ngoMamona ongalungile; ukuze kuthi, nxa niphela, banamukele ezindlini eziphakade.
10 Othembekile kokuncinyane uthembekile nakokukhulu, nongalungile kokuncane kakhulu akalungile nakokukhulu.
11 Ngakho-ke uma ningathembekanga kokukaMamona ongalungile, ngubani oyakuniphathisa okuqinisileyo na?
12 Njalo uba lingathembekanga kokukomunye, ngubani ozalinika okungokwakho?
13 Ayikho inceku engakhonza amakhosi amabili, ngokuba iyakuzonda enye, ithande enye; noma ibambelele kwenye, idelele enye. Anikwazi ukukhonza uNkulunkulu noMamona.
14 NabaFarisi abahahayo bezwa konke lokho, bamklolodela.

19 Kwakukhona umuntu othile onothileyo, owayegqoka ezibubende nezelineni elicolekileyo, ezijabulisa imihla ngemihla etamasa.
20 Kwakukhona isinxibi esithile, nguLazaru, esasibekwe esangweni laso sigcwele izilonda;
21 Ifisa ukusuthiswa ngemvuthuluka ewa etafuleni lesicebi, phezu kwalokho kwafika nezinja zayikhotha izilonda zaso.

23 Esihogweni saphakamisa amehlo aso, sisebuhlungwini, sabona u-Abrahama ekude, noLazaru esesifubeni sakhe.
24 Samemeza sathi: ‘Baba Abrahama, ngihawukele, uthume uLazaru, agcobhoze isihloko somunwe wakhe emanzini, aphozise ulimi lwami; ngoba ngiyahlushwa kulelilangabi.
25 Kepha u-Abrahama wathi: “Ndodana, khumbula ukuthi wamukela okuhle kwakho usesekuphileni, noLazaru ngokunjalo nokubi;
26 Futhi phezu kwakho konke lokhu phakathi kwethu lani kubekiwe umhosha omkhulu, ukuze abafuna ukuwela besuka lapha besiya kini bangabi; futhi abanakuwelela kithi abafuna ukuvela khona.

31 Wasesithi kuso: Uba bengalaleli uMozisi labaprofethi, kabayikuvunyiswa, loba kuvuka omunye kwabafileyo.

Kwabase-Efesu 5 : 23 – 33
23 Ngokuba indoda iyinhloko yomfazi, njengokuba noKristu eyinhloko yebandla, yena engumsindisi womzimba.
24 Ngakho-ke njengokuba ibandla lithobela uKristu, kanjalo nabafazi mabathobele amadoda abo kukho konke.
25 Madoda, thandani omkenu, njengalokho noKristu walithanda ibandla, wazinikela ngenxa yalo;
26 ukuze alingcwelise, alihlambulule ngesigezo samanzi ngezwi;
27 ukuze azimise phambi kwakhe ibandla elinenkazimulo, elingenasisihla, noma umbimbi, nanto enjalo; kodwa ukuthi libe ngcwele njalo lingelasici.
28 Kanjalo amadoda afanele ukuthanda omkawo njengemizimba yawo. Othanda umkakhe uzithanda yena.
29 Ngokuba akakho owake wazonda eyakhe inyama; kodwa uyayondla futhi ayinakekele, njengoba nje neNkosi ibandla.
30 Ngokuba singamalungu omzimba wakhe, awenyama yakhe, singamathambo akhe.
31 Ngalokho indoda iyakushiya uyise nonina, inamathele kumkayo, futhi labo ababili bayakuba nyamanye.
32 Le yimfihlakalo enkulu, kepha ngikhuluma ngoKristu nebandla.
33 Nokho-ke yilowo nalowo kini makathande umkakhe njengalokhu ezithanda yena; nomfazi makahloniphe indoda yakhe.
