17 UEliya wayengumntu oluvo lunjengolwethu, wathandaza umthandazo ukuba inganí; ayaná emhlabeni iminyaka emithathu eneenyanga ezintandathu.

19 Bazalwana, ukuba uthe omnye phakathi kwenu walahleka enyanisweni, wathi ubani wamguqula,
20 makazi ukuba lowo wamguqulayo umoni ekulahlekeni kwakhe, woba usindise umphefumlo ekufeni, wagubungela inkitha yezono.
