16 Futhi nxa nizila ukudla, ningabi njengabazenzisi, ubuso obudangeleyo, ngokuba banyakamisa ubuso babo, ukuze babonakale kubantu ukuthi bazilile. Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Sebewutholile umvuzo wabo.
17 Kepha wena, nxa uzila, gcoba ikhanda lakho, ugeze ubuso bakho;
18 ukuze ungabonakali kubantu ukuthi uzilile, kodwa kuYihlo osekusithekeni;

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.
1 kaJohane 2 : 1 – 29
1 Bantwana bami, nginilobela lokhu ukuba ningoni. Uma umuntu ona, sinoMmeli kuYise, uJesu Kristu olungileyo;
2 yena uyinhlawulo yezono zethu, kungengezethu zodwa, kodwa nezono zezwe lonke.
3 Ngalokho siyazi ukuthi siyamazi yena, uma sigcina imiyalo yakhe.
4 Lowo othi: “Ngiyamazi,” engagcini imiyalo yakhe, ungumqambimanga, neqiniso alikho kuye.
5 Kepha ogcina izwi lakhe, uthando lukaNkulunkulu luphelelisiwe kuye impela; ngalokho siyazi ukuthi sikuye.
6 Lowo othi uhlala kuye, yena umelwe ukuhamba njengalokho ahamba yena.
7 Bazalwane, anginilobeli umyalo omusha, kodwa umyalo omdala enaninawo kwasekuqaleni. Umyalo omdala uyizwi enalizwa kwasekuqaleni.
8 Futhi nginilobela umyalo omusha, okuliqiniso kuye nakini, ngokuba ubumnyama buyadlula, nokukhanya kweqiniso sekuyakhanya.
9 Lowo othi usekukhanyeni, kodwa ezonda umzalwane wakhe, usebumnyameni kuze kube manje.
10 Lowo othanda umzalwane wakhe uhlala ekukhanyeni, njalo kakulasikhubekiso kuye.
11 Kepha ozonda umzalwane wakhe usebumnyameni, uhamba ebumnyameni, akazi lapho eya khona, ngokuba ubumnyama buwaphuphuthekisile amehlo akhe.
12 Ngiyalibhalela, bantwanyana, ngoba izono zenu zithethelelwe ngenxa yebizo lakhe.
13 Ngiyanilobela bobaba, ngokuba nimazile okhona kwasekuqaleni. Ngiyanilobela, zinsizwa, ngokuba nimnqobile omubi. Ngiyanilobela, bantwanyana, ngokuba nimazile uBaba.
14 Ngililobele, bobaba, ngoba limazile yena okhona kusukela ekuqaleni. Nginilobele, zinsizwa, ngokuba ninamandla, nezwi likaNkulunkulu lihlezi kini, nimnqobile omubi.
15 Ningathandi izwe nezinto ezisezweni. Uma umuntu ethanda izwe, uthando lukaBaba alukho kuye.
16 Ngokuba konke okusezweni, inkanuko yenyama, nenkanuko yamehlo, nokuzigabisa ngalokhukuphila, akuveli kuYise, kodwa kuvela ezweni.
17 Izwe liyadlula kanye nenkanuko yalo, kepha owenza intando kaNkulunkulu uhlala kuze kube phakade.
18 Bantwanyana, sekuyisikhathi sokugcina, njengalokho nezwa ukuthi umphikukristu uyeza, nakalokhu sekukhona abaphikukristu abaningi; ngalokho siyazi ukuthi sekuyisikhathi sokugcina.
19 Baphuma kithi, kodwa babengesibo abakithi; ngoba uba babengabakithi, ngabe bahlala lathi;
20 Kodwa nina ninokugcotshwa okuvela koNgcwele, futhi niyazi zonke izinto.
21 Kangilibhalelanga ngoba lingalazi iqiniso, kodwa ngoba lilazi, lokuthi kakulamanga avela eqinisweni.
22 Ngubani ongumqambimanga ngaphandle kwalowo ophika ukuthi uJesu unguKristu na? Ungumphikukristu, ophika uYise neNdodana.
23 Ophika iNdodana akanaye uYise, kepha ovuma iNdodana unaye noYise.
24 Ngakho-ke lokho enakuzwa kusukela ekuqaleni makuhlale kini. Uma lokho enakuzwa kwasekuqaleni kuhlala kini, nani niyohlala eNdodaneni nakuBaba.
25 Yilesi isithembiso asithembisa sona: ukuphila okuphakade.
26 Nginilobele lezi zinto ngabadukisayo.
27 Kepha ukugcotshwa enakwemukela kuye kuhlala kini, anidingi ukuba ubani anifundise, nihlale kuye.
28 Manje, bantwanyana, hlalani kuye; ukuze kuthi, nxa esebonakala, sibe lesibindi, singabi lenhloni phambi kwakhe ekufikeni kwakhe.
29 Uma nazi ukuthi ulungile, yazini ukuthi wonke owenza ukulunga uzelwe nguye.

27 Kepha ngithi kini enizwayo: Thandani izitha zenu, nenze okuhle kwabalizondayo;
2 Amakhosi 1 : 1 – 18
1 Khona uMowabi wahlubuka ku-Israyeli emva kokufa kuka-Ahabi.
2 U-Ahaziya wawa eheleni lekamelo lakhe eliphezulu eliseSamariya, wagula; wathuma izithunywa, wathi kuzo: “Hambani nibuze kuBali Zebhubi, unkulunkulu wase-Ekroni, ukuthi ngiyakusinda yini kulesi sifo.”
3 Kepha ingelosi kaJehova yathi ku-Eliya waseThishibi: “Suka ukhuphuke ukuhlangabezana nezithunywa zenkosi yaseSamariya, uthi kuzo: ‘Akungoba kungekho Nkulunkulu kwa-Israyeli yini ukuba nihambe niyobuza kuBali Zebule? unkulunkulu wase-Ekroni?
4 Ngakho-ke, manje, usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ngeke wehle kulowo mbhede okhuphukele kuwo, kepha uyakufa nokufa. U-Eliya wahamba.
5 Lapho izithunywa zibuyela kuye, wathi kuzo: “Nibuyelani na?
6 Bathi kuye: “Kwakhuphuka indoda ukusihlangabeza, yathi kithi: Hambani, nibuyele enkosini enithumileyo, nithi kuyo: Isho kanje iNkosi, ithi: Akungoba kungekho Nkulunkulu na? kwa-Israyeli, ukuba uthume ukubuza kuBali Zebubi unkulunkulu wase-Ekroni na? ngalokho ungehli kulowo mbhede okhwele kuwo, kepha uyakufa nokufa.
7 Wayesethi kubo: “Bekungumuntu onjani yena owahlangana nani, wanitshela lawa mazwi na?”
8 Bamphendula bathi: “Uyindoda enoboya, ebhince ibhande lesikhumba okhalweni lwakhe.” Wathi: “Lo ungu-Eliya waseThishibi.”
9 Inkosi yasithuma kuye umthetheli-mashumi-mahlanu, enamashumi omahlanu akhe. Wakhuphukela kuye, bheka, wayehlezi esiqongweni sentaba. Wathi kuye: “Wena muntu kaNkulunkulu, inkosi yathi: Yehla;
10 UEliya waphendula, wathi enduneni yamashumi ayisihlanu: “Uma ngingumuntu kaNkulunkulu, makwehle umlilo ezulwini, ukudle wena namashumi omahlanu akho. Kwehla umlilo ezulwini, wayiqeda yona namashumi ayisihlanu ayo.
11 Wathuma kuye enye induna yamashumi ayisihlanu inamashumi ayisihlanu ayo. Wasephendula wathi kuye: O muntu kaNkulunkulu, itsho njalo inkosi: Yehla masinyane;
12 U-Eliya waphendula wathi kubo: “Uma ngingumuntu kaNkulunkulu, makwehle umlilo ezulwini, ukudle wena namashumi omahlanu akho. Wehla umlilo kaNkulunkulu ezulwini, wayiqeda yena namashumi ayisihlanu akhe.
13 Waphinda wathuma induna yesithathu yabangamashumi amahlanu kanye nabangamashumi amahlanu bayo. Inkosi yesithathu yabangamashumi ayisihlanu yakhuphuka, yafika yaguqa ngamadolo phambi kuka-Eliya, yamncenga, yathi kuye: “O muntu kaNkulunkulu, gcina umphefumulo wami nomphefumulo walaba bakhonzi bakho abangamashumi ayisihlanu. Ube yigugu emehlweni akho.
14 Bheka, kwehla umlilo ezulwini, washisa izinduna ezimbili zamashumi ayisihlanu zokuqala kanye namashumi ayisihlanu azo; ngalokho ukuphila kwami kumelwe kube yigugu manje emehlweni akho.
15 Ingelosi kaJehova yathi ku-Eliya: “Yehla naye; ningamesabi. Wasukuma wehla naye waya enkosini.
16 Wathi kuye: “Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: ‘Ngenxa yokuthi uthume izithunywa ukuyabuza kuBali Zebhubi unkulunkulu wase-Ekroni, akungoba kungekho Nkulunkulu kwa-Israyeli ongabuza izwi lakhe na? ngalokho ungehli kulowo mbhede okhwele kuwo, kepha uyakufa nokufa.
17 Wafa njengezwi likaJehova alikhulumayo u-Eliya. UJoramu wasesiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe ngomnyaka wesibili kaJoramu indodana kaJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda; ngoba wayengelandodana.
18 Ezinye izindaba zika-Ahaziya azenzayo azilotshiwe yini encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli na?

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.
