U-Isaya 58 : 10 – 11
10 Futhi uma welulela umphefumulo wakho kolambileyo futhi usuthise umphefumulo ocindezelweyo; khona ukukhanya kwakho kuyakuvela ebumnyameni, nobumnyama bakho bube njengemini enkulu.
11 UJehova uyakukuhola njalo, asuthise umphefumulo wakho endaweni yokomisa, akhuluphalise amathambo akho; futhi uyoba njengensimu eniselwayo nanjengomthombo omanzi awo anganqamuki.

8 noma owalayo, ekuyaleni; obusa ngenkuthalo; ohawukelayo, makehle ngokwenama.

15 Ngakho masinikele njalonjalo kuNkulunkulu ngaye umhlatshelo wokubonga, okungukuthi isithelo sezindebe ezivuma igama lakhe.
16 Kepha ningakhohlwa ukwenza okuhle nokuphana, ngokuba iminikelo enjalo uNkulunkulu uthokoziswa yiyo.
EkaJokobe 2 : 14 – 24
14 Kusizani, bazalwane bami, noma umuntu ethi unokukholwa, kepha engenayo imisebenzi na? ukukholwa kungamsindisa na?
15 Uma umzalwane noma udade behamba ze, beswela ukudla kwemihla ngemihla,
16 Omunye wenu wathi kubo: Hambani ngokuthula, lifudumale, lisuthe; kodwa anibaniki izinto ezidingekayo emzimbeni; kusizani?
17 Kanjalo nokukholwa, uma kungenayo imisebenzi, kufile kukodwa.
18 Yebo, omunye angase athi: Wena unokukholwa, mina nginemisebenzi; ngibonise ukukholwa kwakho ngaphandle kwemisebenzi yakho, nami ngizakukukhombisa ukukholwa kwami ngemisebenzi yami.
19 Wena uyakholwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu munye; wenza kahle; namademoni ayakholwa, athuthumele.
20 Kodwa uyathanda yini ukwazi wena muntu oyize, ukuthi ukholo olungelamisebenzi lufile?
21 U-Abrahama ubaba akalungisiswanga yini ngemisebenzi, lapho enikela u-Isaka indodana yakhe e-altare na?
22 Uyabona ukuthi ukukholwa kwasebenza kanye nemisebenzi yakhe, nokuthi ukholo lwapheleliswa ngemisebenzi?
23 Kwase kugcwaliseka umbhalo othi: U-Abrahama wakholwa nguNkulunkulu, kwabalelwa kuye ukuthi kungukulunga, wabizwa ngokuthi uMngane kaNkulunkulu.
24 Niyabona-ke ukuthi umuntu ulungisiswa ngemisebenzi, kungengokukholwa kuphela.
KumaHeberu 13 : 1 – 3
1 Maluqhubeke uthando lobuzalwane.
2 Lingakhohlwa ukwamukela izihambi; ngoba ngalokho abanye bangenisa izingilosi bengazi.
3 Khumbulani ababoshiweyo ngokungathi niboshiwe kanye nabo; nabaphathwa kabi, njengokuba nani nisemzimbeni.

31 Nxa iNdodana yomuntu iza ngenkazimulo yayo nezingelosi zonke ezingcwele kanye nayo, khona izakuhlala esihlalweni sayo sobukhosi.
32 Kuyakubuthelwa phambi kwayo izizwe zonke, ibahlukanise abanye kwabanye, njengomalusi ehlukanisa izimvu nezimbuzi;
33 Iyakumisa izimvu ngakwesokunene sayo, kodwa izimbuzi ngakwesokhohlo.
34 Khona iNkosi izakuthi kwabangakwesokunene sayo: Wozani lina elibusiswe nguBaba, lidle ilifa lombuso eliwulungiselweyo selokhu kwasekelwa umhlaba.
35 Ngokuba ngangilambile, nanginika ukudla; ngangomile, nangiphuzisa;
36 Nginqunu, nangembathisa; ngangigula, nangihambela; ngangiboshiwe, neza kimi.
37 Khona bayakuyiphendula abalungileyo, bathi: ‘Nkosi, sakubona nini ulambile, sakupha ukudla na? noma womile, sakuphuzisa na?
38 Sakubona nini ungumfokazi, sakungenisa endlini, na? noma uhamba ze, sakwembathisa na?
39 Sakubona nini ugula, noma usetilongweni, seza kuwe na?
40 Inkosi iyakuphendula, ithi kubo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Njengoba nikwenzile komunye walaba bafowethu abancane, nikwenzile nakimi.
41 Khona iyakuthi nakwabangakwesokhohlo: Sukani kimi nina baqalekisiweyo, niye emlilweni ophakade olungiselwe uSathane nezingelosi zakhe;
42 Ngokuba ngangilambile, kepha aninginikanga ukudla;
43 ngangingumfokazi, aningingenisanga; nginqunu, aningigqokisanga; ngigula, ngisetilongweni, aningihambelanga.
44 Khona bayakumphendula nabo, bathi: ‘Nkosi, sakubona nini ulambile, noma womile, noma ungowezizwe, noma uhamba-ze, noma ugula, noma usetilongweni, singakukhonzanga?
45 Khona izabaphendula, ithi: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Njengoba lingakwenzanga komunye walaba abancinyane, kalikwenzanga kimi.
46 Laba bayakumuka ekujezisweni okuphakade, kepha abalungileyo baye ekuphileni okuphakade.
UDuteronomi 15 : 7 – 11
7 Uma kukhona phakathi kwakho ompofu wabafowenu kwelinye lamasango akho ezweni lakho uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akunika lona, ungayenzi lukhuni inhliziyo yakho, ungasivali isandla sakho kumfowenu ompofu.
8 Kodwa kumelwe uvule kakhulu isandla sakho kuye, futhi kumelwe nakanjani umtsheleke lokho akudingayo, ngalokho akufunayo.
9 Qaphela ukuba kungabikho umcabango omubi enhliziyweni yakho othi: Unyaka wesikhombisa, umnyaka wokukhululwa, useduze; iso lakho libe libi kumfowenu ompofu, ungamniki lutho; wabiza uJehova ngani, kube yisono senu.
10 Womnika nokumnika, inhliziyo yakho ingabi lusizi, uma umnika yona, ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho uyakukubusisa ngale ndaba kuyo yonke imisebenzi yakho nakukho konke obeka kukho isandla sakho.
11 Ngokuba ompofu akasoze aphela ezweni; ngalokho ngiyakuyala, ngithi: Womvulela kakhulu umfowenu isandla sakho, ompofu wakho nompofu wakho ezweni lakini.

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.
KwabaseFilipi 2 : 2
2 Gcwalisani intokozo yami, ukuze nibe nhliziyonye, ninothando olufanayo, nibe nhliziyonye, nengqondo munye.
