16 Siya kubathini na aba bantu? Kuba okunene, ukuba kuhlé ngabo umqondiso owazekayo, oyinto ebonakalayo kubo bonke abemi eYerusalem, nathi asinakuyikhanyela loo nto.
17 Ukuze ke loo nto ingahlakazeki ngakumbi ebantwini, masise sibasongela ngelokuba bangabi sathetha mntwini ngeli gama.
18 Bebabizile, babathethela ngelithi, mabangabi sakhankanya nakanye, bangafundisi nokufundisa ngegama likaYesu.
19 Ke kaloku uPetros noYohane baphendula, bathi kubo, Yahlulani nina, ukuba bubulungisa na emehlweni kaThixo ukuva nina, kunokuva uThixo;
20 kuba singenako thina ukuthi singazithethi izinto esazibonayo, esazivayo.
21 Bathe ke bona, beqokele ngokubasongela, babandulula; bengafumani sizathu bangababetha ngaso, ngenxa yabantu; ngokuba bonke babemzukisa uThixo ngoko kwakuhlile.
22 Kuba wayedlule emashumini amané eminyaka umntu lowo, wawuhle kuye lo mqondiso wokuphiliswa.
