20 Izimvo zenu mazingabi zezobuntwana, mawethu. Yibani ngabantwana kambe kwizinto eziphathelele ebubini, kodwa iingcinga zenu zona mazivuthwe.
21 Kaloku *eziBhalweni kuthiwa:“ ‘Ndiya kuthetha kwaba bantu ngabantu abantetho yimbi,’ itsho iNkosi.‘Ndiya kuthetha ngeelwimi zasemzini,kunjalo nje abayi kundiva.’ ”
22 Ngoko ke isiphiwo sokuthetha iilwimi sikholo ukuba sibe ngumqondiso kwabangakholwayo, ingekuko kwabakholwayo. Ke sona isiphiwo sokushumayela singumqondiso kwabakholwayo, ingekuko kwabangakholwayo.
23 Xa lihlangene ke ibandla, waza ulowo nalowo wasuka wathetha iilwimi, kwaza kwathi kusenjalo kwafika abanye abangayiqondiyo le nto okanye abangengomakholwa, abayi kuthi niphambene?
24 Kodwa ukuba niyashumayela nonke, kuze kufike umntu nje ozihambelayo okanye umntu ongelokholwa, loo mntu uya kuziva echukumiseka ngenxa yelizwi alivayo. Onke amazwi awevayo aya kumgweba,
25 ziphengululwe iingcinga zakhe ezifihlakeleyo, agobe amadolo amnqule uThixo, evuma ukuba ngenene uThixo ukho phakathi kwenu.
26 Lilonke ke, mawethu, ndithi: Ukuba nihlangene ngeenjongo zokunqula, yiphanani inxaxheba; omnye makathathe iculo, omnye imfundiso, wumbi avakalise isityhilelo esivela kuThixo, aze omnye ashumayele ngeelwimi, ngokunjalo ke omnye makatolike loo nto ithethwayo. Yonke into eniyenzayo mayilakhe ibandla.
