12 Kuba asinabuganga bakuzibalela nakuzifanisa nabo abathile abaziyalezayo; bona àbanangqondo, bezilinganisela nje kwakubo ngokwabo, bezifanisa nje nabo ngokwabo.
13 Ke thina asisayi kuqhayisa sigqithise emlinganiselweni; soqhayisa ngokomlinganiselo womda esiwabelwe nguThixo, ukuba ube ngumlinganiselo oya kufikelela nakuni.
14 Kuba asizoluli ngokugqithiseleyo, ngathi asifikeleli kuni; kuba sesafikelelayo nakuni sineendaba ezilungileyo zikaKristu.
15 Asiqhayisi sigqithise emlinganiselweni ngokubulaleka kwabanye; ke sinethemba, ukuba lwakukhula ukholo lwenu, siya kwenziwa bakhulu phakathi kwenu ngokomda wethu, sigqithisele,
16 side sizishumayele iindaba ezilungileyo ezindaweni ezingaphaya kwenu; singaqhayisi ngesilinganiselo somnye, ngezinto ke esezilungisiwe.
17 Oqhayisayo ke, makaqhayise ngeNkosi.
18 Kuba oyena ucikidekileyo asingoziyalezayo, ngoyalezwa yiNkosi.
