8 Elokugcina, bazalwane, konke okuyiqiniso, konke okuhle, konke okulungileyo, konke okuhlanzekileyo, konke okuthandekayo, konke okutusekayo; uma kukhona okuhle, noma kukhona ukubongwa, zindlani ngalezizinto.
9 Enikufundile, nakwamukela, nakuzwa, nakubona kimi, kwenzeni; khona uNkulunkulu wokuthula uyakuba nani.
2 kuThimothewu 1 : 7

2 Lingakhohlwa ukwamukela izihambi; ngoba ngalokho abanye bangenisa izingilosi bengazi.

22 Kodwa isithelo sikaMoya siluthando, intokozo, ukuthula, ukubekezela, ubumnene, ukulunga, ukholo,
23 ubumnene, nokuzithiba: akukho mthetho omelene nokunjalo.
24 AbakaKristu babethele esiphambanweni inyama kanye nokuhuheka nezinkanuko.
25 Uma siphila ngoMoya, masihambe futhi ngoMoya.
EkaJokobe 1 : 22

1 kwabaseKorinte 13 : 1 – 13
1 Noma ngikhuluma ngezilimi zabantu nezezingelosi, kepha ngingenalo uthando, ngiyithusi elikhencezayo nensimbi encencethayo.
2 Noma nginesiphiwo sokuprofetha, ngiqonda izimfihlakalo zonke nokwazi konke; noma nginokukholwa konke, ngangokuba ngingagudluza izintaba, kepha ngingenalo uthando, angiyinto yalutho.
3 Noma ngabela abampofu konke enginakho, noma nginikela ngomzimba wami ukuba ushiswe, kepha ngingenalo uthando, akungisizi ngalutho.
4 Uthando luyabekezela, lunomusa; uthando alunamhawu; uthando aluzikhukhumezi, aluzikhukhumezi;
5 Aluziphathi okungafanele, aluzifuneli okwalo;
6 Aluthokozi ngokungalungile, kepha luthokozela iqiniso;
7 lubekezelela izinto zonke, lukholwa yizinto zonke, luthemba izinto zonke, lukhuthazelela izinto zonke.
8 Uthando alusoze lwaphela; noma kukhona izilimi, ziyakunqamuka; noma kukhona ukwazi, kuyakunyamalala.
9 Ngokuba siyazi inxenye, siprofetha inxenye.
10 Kepha nxa kufika okupheleleyo, okuyinxenye kuyakuqedwa.
11 Lapho ngisengumntwana, ngakhuluma okomntwana, ngaqondisa okomntwana, ngazindla okomntwana;
12 Ngokuba manje sibona esibukweni kalufifi; kepha ngaleso sikhathi ubuso nobuso; manje ngazi inxenye; kodwa ngalesosikhathi ngizakwazi njengoba lami ngaziwa.
13 Manje-ke kumi ukukholwa, nokwethemba, nothando, lokho kokuthathu; kodwa okukhulu kukho konke uthando.
KwabaseFilipi 3 : 13 – 14
13 Bazalwane, angisho ukuthi mina uqobo sengikubambile, kodwa kunye engikwenzayo, ngikhohlwa okungasemuva, ngizelulela kokungaphambili;
14 ngijonge emgomeni, emklomelweni wokubizwa okuphezulu kukaNkulunkulu kuKristu Jesu.
1 kaPetru 3 : 15
15 Kodwa ngcwelisani iNkosi uNkulunkulu ezinhliziyweni zenu, njalo lilungele ukuphendula wonke umuntu olibuza ngesizatho sethemba elikini, ngobumnene langokwesaba;
2 kaPetru 2 : 1 – 22
1 Kepha kwakukhona nabaprofethi bamanga phakathi kwabantu, njengokuba naphakathi kwenu kuyakuba khona abafundisi bamanga abazakungenisa ngasese izifundiso ezibhubhisayo, bephika neNkosi eyabathengayo, bezilethela ukubhujiswa okusheshayo.
2 Nabaningi bayakulandela ukonakala kwabo; okuyakuthi ngaye indlela yeqiniso ihlanjalazwe.
3 Ngokuhaha bayakunenza ngamazwi obuqili; ukwahlulelwa kwabo kwakudala akulibali, nokubhujiswa kwabo akozeli.
4 Ngokuba uma uNkulunkulu engaziyekanga izingelosi ezonayo, kepha waziphonsa esihogweni, wazinikela emaketangeni obumnyama, zigcinelwe ukwahlulelwa;
5 futhi engaliyekanga izwe elidala, kodwa wamsindisa uNowa umshumayeli wokulunga, eletha uzamcolo ezweni labangamesabi uNkulunkulu;
6 Wayilahla imizi yaseSodoma neyaseGomora, wayichitha, wayichitha, ephendula imizi yaseSodoma neyaseGomora ibe yisibonelo kwabangayikumesaba uNkulunkulu;
7 Wakhulula uLothi olungileyo, owayecunulwe yihambo engcolileyo yababi.
8 (Ngokuba lowo olungileyo ehlezi phakathi kwabo, ngokubona nangokuzwa, imihla ngemihla wawuhlupha umphefumulo wakhe olungileyo ngemisebenzi yabo engafanele;)
9 INkosi iyakwazi ukukhulula ezilingweni abamesabayo, nokugcinela abangalungile usuku lokwahlulelwa, bajeziswe;
10 Kodwa ikakhulu labo abahamba ngokwenyama enkanukweni yokungcola, bedelela ukubusa. Bayagabadela, bazicabangela bona, abesabi nokukhuluma kabi ngezithunzi;
11 Kodwa izingilosi, lezizinkulu ngamandla langokuqina, kazilethi icala lokuthuka phambi kweNkosi.
12 Kepha laba, njengezilwane ezingenangqondo, ezizalelwe ukubanjwa zibhujiswe, bahlambalaza abangaziqondiyo; futhi bayobhubha nokubhubha ekonakaleni kwabo;
13 njalo bayakwamukeliswa umvuzo wokungalungi, njengabathi kuyintokozo ukwenza impinda emini. Bangamabala nezisihla, bedlala ngenkohliso yabo, besidla nani;
14 Banamehlo agcwele ukuphinga, abangayeki esonweni; bekhohlisa imiphefumulo engazinzile: nenhliziyo efundiswe ukuhaha; izingane eziqalekisiwe:
15 abayishiyile indlela eqondileyo baduka belandela indlela kaBalami indodana kaBosori owathanda inkokhelo yokungalungi;
16 Kodwa wasolwa ngobubi bakhe: ubabhemi oyisimungulu wakhuluma ngelizwi lomuntu wenqabela ukuhlanya komprofethi.
17 Laba bayimithombo engenamanzi, amafu aqhutshwa yisiphepho; abagcinelwe inkungu yobumnyama kuze kube phakade.
18 Ngokuba bekhuluma amazwi okuyize okuyize, babayenga ngezinkanuko zenyama, ngamanyala, labo ababesesindile kulabo abahamba ngokuduka.
19 Bebathembisa inkululeko, bona ngokwabo bayizigqila zokubhubha;
20 Ngokuba uma sebebalekele ukungcola kwezwe ngokuyazi iNkosi noMsindisi uJesu Kristu, babuye bahilelwe yikho, bahlulwe, isiphetho sabo sibi kunokuqala.
21 Ngokuba ngabe kwaba ngcono kubo ukuba bebengayazanga indlela yokulunga kunokuba sebeyazi bafulathele umyalo ongcwele abawunikwayo.
22 Kodwa kubehlele kubo njengokwesaga esiqinisileyo esithi: Inja ibuyela emahlanzweni ayo; nengulube egeziweyo ekubhidlizeni odakeni.
Amahubo 139 : 13 – 18
13 Ngokuba uzithathile izinso zami, wangembesa esiswini sikamame.
14 Ngifuna ukukudumisa; ngokuba ngenziwa ngokwesabekayo nangokumangalisayo; iyamangalisa imisebenzi yakho; nokuthi umphefumulo wami ukwazi kahle.
15 Impahla yami yayingafihlekile kuwe, lapho ngenziwa ekusithekeni, ngenziwa ngokumangalisayo ezindaweni eziphansi kakhulu zomhlaba.
16 Amehlo akho angibona kahle, nokho ngingaphelele; futhi encwadini yakho kulotshiwe wonke amalungu ami abunjwa kungekho nelilodwa lawo.
17 Iyigugu kangakanani kimi imicabango yakho, Nkulunkulu! inkulu kangakanani ingqikithi yakho!
18 Lapho ngibala, miningi kunesihlabathi; lapho ngivuka, ngisenawe.
Johane 20 : 21
21 Khona uJesu wabuye wathi kubo: “Ukuthula makube kinina, njengalokho uBaba engithumile, nami ngiyanithuma nina.
U-Isaya 53 : 1 – 12
1 Ngubani owakholwa umbiko wethu? lengalo yeNKOSI yambulelwa bani?
2 Ngokuba uyakumila phambi kobuso bakhe njengehlumela, nanjengempande emhlabathini owomileyo; futhi lapho sizoMbona, akukho buhle ukuthi singaMfisa.
3 Udelelekile, waliwa ngabantu; umuntu wosizi nojwayelene nosizi; futhi samfihlela ubuso bethu njengokungathi; wayedelelekile, futhi asizange simhloniphe.
4 Yebo, wathwala usizi lwethu, wathwala usizi lwethu, kepha thina sathi ishaywe, ishaywe nguNkulunkulu, icindezelwe.
5 Kodwa yalinyazwa ngenxa yeziphambeko zethu, yachotshozwa ngobubi bethu; isijeziso sokuthula kwethu sasiphezu kwakhe; nangemivimbo yakhe siphilisiwe thina.
6 Sonke sidukile njengezimvu; sajika yilowo nalowo indlela yakhe; uJehova wehlisela phezu kwakhe ububi bethu sonke.
7 Wacindezelwa, waba lusizi, kepha akawuvulanga umlomo wakhe; njengewundlu uyiswa ekuhlatshweni, nanjengemvu isimungulu phambi kwabagundi bayo, kanjalo akawuvuli umlomo wakhe.
8 Wasuswa etilongweni nasekwahlulelweni; futhi ngubani ongamemezela ubulili bakhe? ngoba waqunywa elizweni labaphilayo; ngenxa yesiphambeko sabantu bami washaywa.
9 Futhi wenza ithuna lakhe kanye nababi kanye nabacebile ekufeni kwakhe; ngoba akenzanga ubudlova, futhi kwakungekho nkohliso emlonyeni wakhe.
10 Kepha kwaba kuhle kuJehova ukumchoboza; waba lusizi; uma unikela umphefumulo wayo ube ngumnikelo wesono, iyakubona inzalo yayo, yandise izinsuku zayo, nokuthakazelelwa nguJehova kuyakuphumelela esandleni sayo.
11 Uyobona umshikashika womphefumulo wakhe, asuthe; ngokwazi kwakhe uyakuyenza inceku yami elungileyo ilunge kakhulu; ngokuba uyakuthwala ububi babo.
12 Ngalokho ngiyakuyabela izabelo kanye nabakhulu, yahlukanise impango nabanamandla; ngokuba wawuthulula umphefumulo wakhe ekufeni, wabalelwa kanye nezoni; futhi wathwala izono zabaningi futhi wathandazela aboni.
Amahubo 119 : 165
165 Abathanda umthetho wakho banokuthula okukhulu, kakukho okubakhubekisayo.
KwabaseRoma 12 : 1 – 27
1 Ngakho ngiyanincenga, bazalwane, ngobubele bukaNkulunkulu ukuba ninikele imizimba yenu ibe-ngumnikelo ophilileyo, ongcwele, owamukelekayo kuNkulunkulu, kube ngukukhonza kwenu kokuqonda.
2 Ningalingisi leli zwe, kodwa niguqulwe isimo ngokwenziwa ibentsha ingqondo yenu, ukuze nibe nokuhlolisisa okuyintando kaNkulunkulu enhle, neyamukelekayo, nepheleleyo.
3 Ngoba ngomusa engiwuphiweyo, ngithi kuwo wonke umuntu ophakathi kwenu ukuthi angazicabangeli ngaphezu kwalokho afanele ukukucabanga; kodwa acabange ngokuqonda, njengalokho uNkulunkulu abele yilowo nalowo isilinganiso sokukholwa.
4 Ngokuba njengalokhu sinezitho eziningi emzimbeni munye, kepha izitho zonke azinamsebenzi munye;
5 Kanjalo thina esibaningi singumzimba munye kuKristu, futhi wonke amalungu omunye komunye.
6 Ngakho-ke silezipho ezehlukene ngokomusa esiwuphiweyo, noma ukuprofetha, asiprofethe ngokwesilinganiso sokukholwa;
7 Noma inkonzo, masihlale enkonzweni yethu;
8 noma owalayo, ekuyaleni; obusa ngenkuthalo; ohawukelayo, makehle ngokwenama.
9 Uthando kalungabi lokuzenzisa. Yenyanya okubi; namathelani kokuhle.
10 Thandanani okuhle omunye komunye ngothando lobuzalwane; ekuhlonipheni nikhethe omunye komunye;
11 Lingavilaphi emsebenzini; ovuthayo emoyeni; ukukhonza iNkosi;
12 Jabulani ethembeni; ubekezele osizini; niqinise emthandazweni;
13 Yabelani abangcwele ekuswelekeni; emukela izihambi.
14 Babusiseni abanizingelayo; busisani, ningaqalekisi.
15 Jabulani nabathokozayo, nikhale nabakhalayo.
16 Yibani nomqondo munye omunye komunye. Ningagxili ezintweni eziphakeme, kodwa zehliseni kwabaphansi. Ningahlakaniphi ngokwenu.
17 Ningaphindiseli muntu okubi ngokubi. Yenzani izinto eziqotho phambi kwabantu bonke.
18 Uma kungenzeka, ngokusemandleni enu, hlalani ngokuthula nabantu bonke.
19 Bathandekayo, ningaziphindiseli nina, kodwa dedelani ulaka, ngokuba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Ngokwami ukuphindisela; ngiyakubuyisela mina, isho iNkosi.
20 Ngakho-ke uma isitha sakho silambile, siphe sidle; uma somile, siphuzise, ngokuba ngokwenza lokho uyakubuthela amalahle omlilo ekhanda laso.
21 Unganqotshwa okubi, kodwa nqoba okubi ngokuhle.
