Luka 18 : 10 – 14
10 Amadoda amabili enyukela ethempelini ukuyokhuleka; omunye engumFarisi, omunye engumthelisi.
11 UmFarisi wema wazikhulekela ngokuthi: “Nkulunkulu, ngiyakubonga ngokuba ngingenjengabanye abantu, abaphangi, abangalungile, iziphingi, nanjengalo mthelisi.
12 Ngizila ukudla kabili ngeviki, nginikela okweshumi kwakho konke enginakho.
13 Kodwa umthelisi emi khatshana wayengathandi lokuphakamisela amehlo akhe ezulwini, kodwa watshaya isifuba sakhe, esithi: Nkulunkulu, ngihawukele mina soni.
14 Ngithi kini: Lo wehlela endlini yakhe elungisisiwe kulomunye; lalowo ozithobayo uzaphakanyiswa.

Mathewu 23 : 1 – 39
1 Khona uJesu wakhuluma ezixukwini nakubafundi bakhe.
2 Esithi: Ababhali nabaFarisi bahlezi esihlalweni sikaMozisi;
3 Ngakho-ke konke abalitshela khona, kugcineni, likwenze; kodwa ningenzi njengemisebenzi yabo, ngokuba bayakhuluma, bangenzi.
4 Ngokuba babopha imithwalo enzima, bayibeke emahlombe abantu; kodwa bona ngokwabo abafuni ukuwanyakazisa nangomunwe wawo.
5 Kodwa yonke imisebenzi yabo bayenza ukuze babonwe ngabantu; bawenza abe banzi amafilakteriyu abo, bandise imiphetho yezingubo zabo;
6 bathanda izihlalo eziphambili ekudleni, lezihlalo eziphambili emasinagogeni;
7 nokubingelelwa ezigcawini, nokubizwa ngabantu ngokuthi Rabi, Rabi.
8 Kepha nina maningabizwa ngokuthi Rabi, ngokuba munye uMfundisi wenu, uKristu; lani lonke lingabazalwane.
9 Ningabizi muntu emhlabeni ngokuthi uyihlo, ngokuba munye uYihlo osezulwini.
10 Futhi ningabizwa ngokuthi abefundisi, ngokuba munye uMfundisi wenu, uKristu.
11 Kodwa omkhulu phakathi kwenu kabe yinceku yenu.
12 Nalowo oziphakamisayo uyathotshiswa; lalowo ozithobayo uzaphakanyiswa.
13 Kodwa maye kini, babhali labaFarisi, bazenzisi! ngokuba nivalela abantu umbuso wezulu, ngokuba aningeni nina, nabangenayo anibavumeli ukuba bangene.
14 Maye kinina babhali nabaFarisi, bazenzisi! ngokuba nidla izindlu zabafelokazi, nangokuzenzisa nenza imikhuleko emide;
15 Maye kinina babhali nabaFarisi, bazenzisi! ngoba nizungeza ulwandle nomhlaba ukwenza oyedwa ophendukela kumaJuda, futhi lapho esenziwe, nimenza umntwana wesihogo ngokuphindwe kabili kunani.
16 Maye kini, baholi abayizimpumputhe, enithi: Noma ubani ofunga ithempeli akulutho; kodwa ofunga igolide lethempeli, ulomlandu.
17 Ziwula nezimpumputhe, ngokuba yikuphi okukhulu, igolide nethempeli elingcwelisa igolide na?
18 Futhi: Ofunga i-altare akulutho; kepha ofunga umnikelo ophezu kwawo unecala.
19 Ziwula nezimpumputhe, ngokuba yikuphi okukhulu, umnikelo noma i-altare elingcwelisa umnikelo na?
20 Ngakho-ke ofunga i-altare ufunga lona nakho konke okuphezu kwalo.
21 Futhi ofunga ithempeli ufunga lona langaye ohlala kulo.
22 Nalowo ofunga izulu ufunga isihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu nohlezi phezu kwaso.
23 Maye kini, babhali nabaFarisi, bazenzisi! Ngokuba nikhokha okweshumi kweminti, neanise, nekhumini, kepha niyeke okubaluleke kakhulu zomthetho, ukwahlulela, nesihawu, nokukholwa;
24 Bakhokheli abayizimpumputhe, elihluza insensane, liginye ikamela.
25 Maye kinina babhali nabaFarisi, bazenzisi! ngokuba nihlanza ingaphandle lenkezo nesitsha, kepha ngaphakathi kugcwele ukuphanga nokuxhashazwa.
26 MFarisi oyimpumputhe, hlambulula kuqala okuphakathi kwenkezo noqwembe, ukuze kuhlanzeke nengaphandle lakho.
27 Maye kinina babhali nabaFarisi, bazenzisi! ngokuba nifana namathuna acakiwe, abonakala emahle ngaphandle, kepha ngaphakathi agcwele amathambo abafileyo nokungcola konke.
28 Kanjalo nani ngaphandle nibonakala kubantu nilungile, kepha ngaphakathi nigcwele ukuzenzisa nobubi.
29 Maye kinina babhali nabaFarisi, bazenzisi! ngokuba nakha amathuna abaprofethi, nihlobise amathuna abalungileyo;
30 nithi: Uma sasikhona emihleni yawobaba, sasingayikuhlanganyela nabo egazini labaprofethi.
31 Ngakho niyazifakazela nina ukuthi ningamadodana ababulala abaprofethi.
32 Gcwalisani-ke isilinganiso sawoyihlo.
33 Zinyoka, nzalo yamabululu, lingakubalekela njani ukulahlwa kwesihogo?
34 Ngakho-ke, bhekani, mina ngithumela kini abaprofethi, nabahlakaniphileyo, nababhali; abanye kubo niyakubashaya emasinagogeni enu, nibazingele imizi ngemizi;
35 ukuze kwehlele phezu kwenu igazi lonke elilungileyo elachithwa emhlabeni, kusukela egazini lika-Abela olungileyo kuze kufike egazini likaZakariya indodana kaBarakiya enambulala phakathi kwethempeli ne-altare.
36 Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Konke lokhu kuyakufika phezu kwalesi sizukulwane.
37 Jerusalema, Jerusalema, wena obulala abaprofethi, okhanda ngamatshe abathunywe kuwe, kukangaki ngithanda ukubuthela ndawonye abantwana bakho, njengesikhukhukazi sibuthela amatshwele aso ngaphansi kwamaphiko aso, kodwa anivumanga!
38 Bhekani, indlu yenu isisala nani.
39 Ngokuba ngithi kini: Anisayikungibona kusukela manje, nize nithi: Ubusisiwe ozayo egameni leNkosi.

Luka 7 : 36 – 50
36 Omunye wabaFarisi wamcela ukuthi adle laye. Wangena endlini yomFarisi, wahlala ekudleni.
37 Bheka, owesifazane emzini, oyisoni, ekwazi ukuthi uJesu uhlezi ekudleni endlini yomFarisi, waletha umfuma wealabhaste wamafutha.
38 Wema ngasezinyaweni zakhe emva kwakhe ekhala, waqala ukugeza izinyawo zakhe ngezinyembezi, wazesula ngezinwele zekhanda lakhe, wanga izinyawo zakhe, wazigcoba ngamafutha.
39 Kwathi ekubona lokho umFarisi owayembizile, wakhuluma phakathi kwakhe, wathi: “Lona, ukuba ubengumprofethi, ngabe uyazi ukuthi ungubani nokuthi unjani owesifazane omthintayo, ngokuba uyisoni.
40 UJesu waphendula wathi kuye: Simoni, ngilelizwi kuwe. Wathi: “Khuluma, Mfundisi.
41 Kwakukhona umtshelekisi othile owayenezikweletu ezimbili;
42 Kwathi bengenanto yokukhokha, wabathethelela bobabili. Ngitshele-ke, yimuphi kubo oyakumthanda kakhulu na?
43 USimoni waphendula wathi: Ngithi ngulowo amthethelela kakhulu. Wathi kuye: Wahlulele kahle.
44 Wayesephendukela kowesifazane, wathi kuSimoni: Uyambona lona wesifazane? Ngingene endlini yakho, awunginikanga amanzi ezinyawo zami, kepha yena uzigezile izinyawo zami ngezinyembezi, wazesula ngezinwele zekhanda lakhe.
45 Awunganganga, kepha lona wesifazane, selokhu ngingenile, akayekanga ukwanga izinyawo zami.
46 Ikhanda lami awuligcobanga ngamafutha, kepha lona wesifazane ugcobe izinyawo zami ngamafutha.
47 Ngakho-ke ngithi kuwe: Izono zakhe eziningi zithethelelwe; ngokuba wayethanda kakhulu, kepha othethelelwa okuncane, uthanda kancane.
48 Wathi kuye: “Izono zakho zithethelelwe.
49 Labo ababehlezi naye ekudleni baqala ukukhuluma bodwa, bathi: “Ngubani lo othethelela nezono na?
50 Wathi kowesifazane: “Ukukholwa kwakho kukusindisile; hamba ngokuthula.

Mathewu 7 : 21 – 23
21 Akusibo bonke abathi kimi: Nkosi, Nkosi, abayakungena embusweni wezulu; kodwa lowo owenza intando kaBaba osezulwini.
22 Abaningi bayakuthi kimi ngalolo suku: Nkosi, Nkosi, asiprofethanga yini egameni lakho na? ngegama lakho bakhipha amademoni na? futhi ngegama lakho senze izimangaliso eziningi na?
23 Khona ngiyakufakaza kubo ukuthi: Angizange nginazi; sukani kimi nina benzi bokubi.

Mathewu 21 : 31 – 32
31 Ngumuphi kulaba ababili owenza intando kayise na? Bathi kuye: Eyokuqala. UJesu wathi kubo: “Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Abathelisi nezifebe bangena phambi kwenu embusweni kaNkulunkulu.
32 Ngokuba uJohane weza kini ngendlela yokulunga, anikholwanga nguye, kepha abathelisi nezifebe bakholwa nguye;

Luka 20 : 46 – 47
46 Xwayani ababhali, abathanda ukuhamba bembethe izingubo ezinde, nokubingelelwa ezigcawini, nezihlalo eziphakeme emasinagogeni, nezihlalo eziphambili ekudleni;
47 abadla izindlu zabafelokazi, nangokuzenzisa benza imithandazo emide; labo bayakwamukeliswa ukulahlwa okukhulu.

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.

1 Ekuqaleni uNkulunkulu wadala izulu nomhlaba.

15 Futhi mabasebenze njengezinkanyiso emkhathini wezulu ukuze zikhanyise emhlabeni; futhi kwenzeka kanje.
16 UNkulunkulu wenza izinkanyiso ezimbili ezinkulu; ukukhanya okukhulu ukubusa emini nokukhanya okuncane ukubusa ebusuku; Wenza nezinkanyezi.

19 Kwaba ngukuhlwa, kwaba kusasa, usuku lwesine.
20 UNkulunkulu wathi: “Amanzi mawagcwale uswebezane lwezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo, nezinyoni ezindiza phezu komhlaba emkhathini wezulu.”
21 UNkulunkulu wenza imikhomo emikhulu nazo zonke izidalwa eziphilayo ezihambayo, amanzi akhiqiza ngobuningi ngezinhlobo zazo, nezinyoni zonke ezinamaphiko ngezinhlobo zazo; uNkulunkulu wabona ukuthi kuhle.
22 UNkulunkulu wazibusisa, wathi: “Zalani, nande, nigcwalise amanzi olwandle, nezinyoni mazande emhlabeni.
23 Kwasekukusihlwa, kusasa kwaba lilanga lesihlanu.
24 UNkulunkulu wathi: “Umhlaba mawuveze izilwane eziphilayo ngezinhlobo zazo: izinkomo, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo, nezilo zomhlaba ngezinhlobo zazo; futhi kwenzeka kanje.

27 UNkulunkulu wamdala umuntu ngomfanekiso wakhe, wamdala ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu; wabadala owesilisa nowesifazane.
28 UNkulunkulu wababusisa, wathi kubo: Zalani, nande, nihlale emhlabeni, niwulime. Nibuse phezu kwezinhlanzi zolwandle, nezinyoni zezulu, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni.

24 Ngakho indoda izatshiya uyise lonina inamathele kumkayo, njalo bazakuba nyamanye.

Kwabase-Efesu 5 : 33
33 Nokho-ke yilowo nalowo kini makathande umkakhe njengalokhu ezithanda yena; nomfazi makahloniphe indoda yakhe.

1 kwabaseKorinte 7 : 1 – 40
1 Mayelana nezinto enaloba ngazo kimi, kuhle kumuntu ukuba angamthinti owesifazane.
2 Nokho ngenxa yobufebe, yilowo nalowo makabe nowakhe umfazi, nalowo wesifazane abe neyakhe indoda.
3 Indoda mayimnike okumfanele umkayo, kanjalo nomfazi endodeni.
4 Umfazi kanamandla phezu kowakhe umzimba, yindoda yakhe; kanjalo nendoda ayinagunya kowakhe umzimba, ngumfazi kodwa.
5 Lingagodlelani, ngaphandle kokuthi kube kukuvumelana okwesikhathi, ukuze lizinikele ekuzileni ukudla lekukhulekweni; nibuye nihlangane, ukuze uSathane anganilingi ngokungazithibi kwenu.
6 Kodwa lokhu ngikutsho ngemvume, kayisikho ngomlayo.
7 Ngokuba ngiyathanda ukuba bonke abantu babe njengami; Kodwa yilowo nalowo unesiphiwo sakhe esivela kuNkulunkulu, omunye kanje, omunye kanje.
8 Ngakho ngithi kwabangashadile nakubafelokazi: Kuhle kubo, uma behlala njengami.
9 Kepha uma bengenakuzibamba, mabashade, ngokuba kuhle ukuganwa kunokushiswa.
10 Labashadile ngiyabayala, kungemina kodwa yiNkosi, ukuthi umfazi makangahlukani nendoda;
11 Kepha uma ehlukana naye, akahlale engaganile, noma abuyisane nendoda yakhe, nendoda ingamlahli umkayo.
12 Kepha kwabanye ngithi mina, akusho iNkosi: Uma umzalwane enomfazi ongakholwayo, yena-ke evuma ukuhlala naye, makangamlahli.
13 Nowesifazane onendoda engakholwayo, futhi uma ivuma ukuhlala naye, angayishiyi.
14 Ngokuba indoda engakholwayo ingcwelisiwe ngomfazi, nomfazi ongakholwayo ungcwelisiwe ngendoda; uma kungenjalo abantwana benu ngabe bangcolile; kodwa manje bangcwele.
15 Kepha uma ongakholwayo ehlukana naye, makamuke; Umzalwane noma umzalwanekazi akaboshiwe kokunjalo, kepha uNkulunkulu usibizele ekuthuleni.
16 Ngokuba wazini wena mfazi, ukuthi awuyikusindisa indoda yakho na? Wena ndoda, wazi ngani ukuthi uyakumsindisa umkakho na?
17 Kodwa njengalokho uNkulunkulu emabele yilowo nalowo, njengalokho iNkosi imbizile yilowo nalowo, makahambe kanjalo. Ngiyala kanjalo emabandleni onke.
18 Ukhona yini obizwe esokile? makangabi ngongasoki. Ukhona yini obizwe engasokile na? makangasoki.
19 Ukusoka akulutho, nokungasoki akulutho, kodwa ukugcina imiyalo kaNkulunkulu.
20 Akube yilowo nalowo ahlale ekubizweni abizwe ekukho.
21 Ubizwe uyisigqila na? ungakhathazeki, kepha uma ungakhululwa, kusebenzise kakhulu.
22 Ngokuba obiziweyo yiNkosi eyisigqila, ungokhululekile weNkosi;
23 Nithengwa ngenani; ningabi yizigqila zabantu.
24 Bazalwane, yilowo nalowo makahlale kuNkulunkulu kulokho abizwe ekukho.
25 Kepha maqondana nezintombi anginawo umyalo weNkosi, kepha mina ngikhipha umbono wami njengomuntu ohawukelwe yiNkosi ukuba athembeke.
26 Ngakho ngithi kuhle lokhu ngenxa yokucindezeleka okukhona, ngithi kuhle kumuntu ukuba abe njalo.
27 Uboshelwe emfazini na? ningafuni ukuthukululwa. Ukhululiwe emfazini na? ungamfuni umfazi.
28 Kepha uma uganwa, akonanga; futhi uma intombi igana, ayoni. Nokho abanjalo bayakuba nenkathazo enyameni, kepha mina ngiyaniyeka.
29 Kodwa ngitsho lokhu, bazalwane, ukuthi isikhathi sifitshane;
30 Labakhalayo babe njengabangakhaliyo; nabathokozayo, babe njengabangathokozi; nabathengayo, babe njengabangenalutho;
31 nabasebenzisa leli zwe, babe njengabangalisebenzisi, ngokuba isimo saleli zwe siyedlula.
32 Kodwa ngithanda ukuthi lingabi lakukhathazeka. Ongashadile ukhathalela okweNkosi, ukuthi angayithokozisa kanjani iNkosi;
33 Kepha oshadile ukhathalela okwezwe, ukuthi angamthokozisa kanjani umkakhe.
34 Kukhona umehluko phakathi komfazi nentombi. Owendileyo ukhathalela okweNkosi, ukuze abe ngcwele emzimbeni nasemoyeni;
35 Lalokhu ngikutsho kube yinzuzo yenu; kungeyisikho ukuthi nginiphosele umjibila, kodwa ngokufaneleyo, lokukhonza iNkosi ngaphandle kokuthikamezeka.
36 Kepha uma umuntu ethi uziphatha ngokungafanele entombini yakhe, uma isikhulile, futhi kudingeke ukuba kube njalo, makenze akuthandayo, akoni;
37 Nokho omi eqinile enhliziyweni yakhe, engacindezelwa lutho, enamandla phezu kwentando yakhe, esenqumile enhliziyweni yakhe ukuthi uyakugcina intombi yakhe, wenza kahle.
38 Ngakho-ke owendisayo wenza kahle; kodwa ongendisiyo wenza okungcono kakhulu.
39 Umfazi uboshiwe ngomthetho ngesikhathi indoda yakhe isekhona; kepha uma indoda isifile, ukhululekile ukuba agane nendoda ayithandayo; eNkosini kuphela.
40 Kodwa uthokoza kakhudlwana uma ehlala kanjalo ngokokubona kwami, futhi ngicabanga ukuthi nami nginoMoya kaNkulunkulu.

1 kaPetru 3 : 7
7 Kanjalo nani madoda, hlalani nabo ngokokwazi, nibanike udumo njengesitsha esibuthakathaka kakhudlwana, nanjengezindlalifa kanye nani zomusa wokuphila; ukuze imikhuleko yenu ithiye.

KumaHeberu 13 : 4
4 Ukuganana makuhlonishwe yibo bonke, nombhede ungabi nasisihla, kepha izifebe neziphingi uNkulunkulu uyakuzahlulela.

Lawa ngamavesi eBhayibheli akhuluma ngawo abesifazane izinwele ezinde

1 kwabaseKorinte 11 : 10
10 Ngakho-ke owesifazana ufanele ukuthi abe legunya ekhanda lakhe ngenxa yezingilosi.

1 kwabaseKorinte 11 : 1 – 34
1 Yibani ngabalingisi bami, njengokuba nami ngilingisa uKristu.
2 Kepha ngiyanidumisa, bazalwane, ngokuba ningikhumbula ezintweni zonke, nigcina izimiso, njengalokho nganinika zona.
3 Kepha ngithanda ukuba nazi ukuthi inhloko yawo wonke amadoda nguKristu; nenhloko yowesifazane yindoda; lenhloko kaKristu nguNkulunkulu.
4 Yilowo nalowo owesilisa ekhuleka noma eprofetha ethwele ikhanda, uhlazisa ikhanda lakhe.
5 Kodwa yilowo nalowo wesifazane okhuleka noma eprofetha ikhanda lakhe lingagutshuzelwe uhlazisa ikhanda lakhe, ngokuba lokho kufana nokuthi uphuciwe.
6 Ngokuba uma owesifazane engagqokile, akagundwe;
7 Ngokuba nempela indoda ayifanele ukumboza ikhanda, lokhu ingumfanekiso nodumo lukaNkulunkulu, kepha owesifazane uludumo lwendoda.
8 Ngokuba indoda ayiveli kowesifazane; kodwa umfazi endodeni.
9 Nendoda ayidalelwanga owesifazane; kodwa owesifazana ngendoda.
10 Ngakho-ke owesifazana ufanele ukuthi abe legunya ekhanda lakhe ngenxa yezingilosi.
11 Nokho eNkosini kayilutho owesilisa ngaphandle kowesifazane, nomfazi ngaphandle kwendoda eNkosini.
12 Ngokuba njengalokhu owesifazane evela endodeni, kanjalo nendoda ivela ngowesifazane; kodwa zonke izinto zikaNkulunkulu.
13 Ziboneleni nina ngokwenu; kuyafaneleka yini ukuba owesifazane akhuleke kuNkulunkulu engagubuzele na?
14 Imvelo uqobo lwayo ayinifundisi yini ukuthi uma indoda inezinwele ezinde, kulihlazo kuyo na?
15 Kepha uma owesifazane enezinwele ezinde, kuludumo kuye, ngokuba izinwele zakhe uzinikiwe zibe-yisimbozo.
16 Kepha uma umuntu ebonakala ephika, asinawo umkhuba onjalo thina, namabandla kaNkulunkulu kawanawo.
17 Kepha kulokhu enginitshela khona anginibongi ngokuba nibuthana kungekukho okuhle kepha kukho okubi kakhulu.
18 Ngokuba okokuqala, nxa nibuthana ebandleni, ngizwa ukuthi kukhona ukwahlukana phakathi kwenu; futhi ngiyakukholwa ngokwengxenye.
19 Ngoba kumele kube khona ukuhlukana phakathi kwenu, ukuze abathembekileyo babonakale phakathi kwenu.
20 Ngakho nxa nibuthana endaweni eyodwa, lokhu akusikho ukudla isidlo seNkosi;
21 Ngokuba ekudleni yilowo nalowo uphatha owakhe isidlo kuqala, omunye ulambile, omunye udakiwe.
22 Yini? Aninazo yini izindlu zokudlela nokuphuzela na? Kumbe nidelela ibandla likaNkulunkulu, nijabhise abangenalutho na? Ngizothini kuwe? ngikudumise kulokhu na? angikubongi.
23 Ngoba mina ngemukele eNkosini, lokho lami enganinika khona, ukuthi iNkosi uJesu ngalobobusuku eyanikelwa ngabo yathatha isinkwa;
24 Esebongile, wasihlephula, wathi: “Thabathani, nidle, lokhu kungumzimba wami owahleshelwa nina;
25 Kanjalo wathabatha nesitsha emva kokudla kwakusihlwa, wathi: Le ndebe iyisivumelwano esisha egazini lami;
26 Ngokuba njalo, nxa nidla lesi sinkwa, niphuza lesisitsha, nimemezela ukufa kweNkosi ize ifike.
27 Ngakho-ke odla lesi sinkwa, anathe lesisitsha seNkosi ngokungafanele, unecala lomzimba negazi leNkosi.
28 Kodwa umuntu akazihlolisise, khona-ke akadle leso sinkwa, aphuze lesisitsha.
29 Ngokuba odlayo anathe ngokungafanele, uzidlela aziphuzele ukulahlwa, engawahlukanisi umzimba weNkosi.
30 Ngenxa yalokhu baningi phakathi kwenu ababuthakathaka nabagulayo, nabaningi balele.
31 Ngokuba uma besizahlulela thina, besingayikwahlulelwa.
32 Kodwa nxa sahlulelwa, siyalaywa yiNkosi, ukuze singalahlwa kanye lelizwe.
33 Ngakho-ke, bazalwane bami, nxa nibuthana ukuba nidle, lindanani.
34 Uma umuntu elambile, akadle ekhaya; ukuze lingabuthani ekulahlweni. Okuseleyo ngizakulungisa nxa ngifika.
