25 Ngokuba into kaThixo ebubudenge ilumkile kunabantu, nento kaThixo engenamandla yomelele kunabantu.
26 Kuba luboneni ubizo lwenu, bazalwana, ukuba azizininzi izilumko ngokwenyama, àbabaninzi abanamandla, akamaninzi amanene.
27 UThixo usuke wanyula izinto ezibubudenge zehlabathi, ukuze azidanise izilumko; nezinto ezingenamandla zehlabathi usuke uThixo wazinyula, ukuze azidanise izinto ezomeleleyo;
28 nezinto zehlabathi ezingenabuntu, nezingento yanto, wazinyula uThixo, nezingáthi azikho, ukuze aziphuthise izinto ezikhoyo;
29 ukuze kungaqhayisi namnye umntu emehlweni akhe.
30 Ke niphuma kuye, nina bakuKristu Yesu, owathi ngenxa yethu waba bubulumko obuvela kuThixo, nobulungisa kwanobungcwalisa nentlawulelo;
