4 Nani boyise, musani ukubacaphukisa abantwana benu; bondleleni ekuqeqesheni nasekululekeni kweNkosi.
5 Nina bakhonzi, baveni abaziinkosi zenu ngokwenyama, ninokuzoyikela nokugubha, ningenakumbi ezintliziyweni zenu, ninge niva uKristu ngokwakhe.
6 Ukukhonza kwenu makungabi ngokweliso, ngathi nithomalalisa abantu; makube ngokwabakhonzi bakaKristu, nikwenza ukuthanda kukaThixo ngokwasemphefumlweni,
7 nikhonza ngentumekelelo, kukuyo iNkosi, kungekubo abantu;
8 nisazi nje ukuba into esukuba ilungile, athe ulowo wayenza, uya kwamkeliswa kwayona yiNkosi, nokuba ungumkhonzi nokuba ungokhululekileyo.
9 Nani baziinkosi zabo, yenzani kwaezo zinto kubo, nikuyeke ukusongela; nisazi nje ukuba kwaeyabo neyenu iNkosi isemazulwini, nokuba akukho kukhetha buso kuyo.
10 Elokugqiba, bazalwana bam, ndithi, Yomelelani eNkosini, nasekuqineni kokomelela kwayo.
