1 Ndiyaqononondisa mna ngoko emehlweni kaThixo, neNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu, oza kugweba abaphilileyo nabafileyo, kwanangokubonakala kwakhe nobukumkani bakhe:
2 livakalise ilizwi; zingisa ukwenjenjalo ngamathuba alungileyo naxakileyo; yohlwaya, khalimela, vuselela, únako konke ukuzeka kade umsindo, nokufundisa.
3 Kuba kuya kubakho ixesha abangayi kuyinyamezela imfundiso ephilileyo; baya kusuka ngokweenkanuko zabo bazifumbele abafundisi, bebaba iindlebe;
4 babeya kuzisonga zimke iindlebe kuyo inyaniso, baphambukele ke kuzo iintsomi.
5 Ke wena yiba yingcathu ezintweni zonke, nyamezela ububi, umsebenzi womshumayeli weendaba ezilungileyo wénze, búzalise ubulungiseleli bakho.
6 Kuba mna sendithululwa ngokomnikelo; nalo ixesha lokunduluka kwam likufuphi.
