3 Kuba naye uKristu akazikholisanga; wathi, njengokuba kubhaliwe, Iingcikivo zabakungcikiváyo záwa phezu kwam.
4 Kuba izinto zonke ezabhalwayo ngenxa engaphambili, zaye zibhalelwa okwethu ukufundiswa, ukuze sithi ngalo unyamezelo novuselelo lwezibhalo sibe nalo ithemba.
5 Wanga ke uThixo wonyamezelo novuselelo anganinika ukucinga nto-nye phakathi kwenu, ngokukaKristu Yesu;
6 ukuze nithi, nimxhelo mnye, nimzukise ngamlomo mnye uThixo, uYise weNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu.
7 Kungoko ndithi, Yamkelanani, njengokuba naye uKristu wasamkelayo, ukuba kuzukiswe uThixo.
8 Ke kaloku ndithi, uYesu Kristu waba ngumlungiseleli wolwaluko ngenxa yenyaniso kaThixo, ukuze aqiniseke amadinga akhe koobawo;
9 zithi ke iintlanga zimzukise uThixo ngenxa yenceba yakhe, njengokuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa,Ngenxa yoko, ndiya kukudumisa phakathi kweentlanga,Ndilibethele uhadi igama lakho.(INdum. 18:49)
