12 Ngoko ke, bazalwana, singabanetyala; kodwa kungekuyo inyama ukuze siphile ngokwenyama.
13 Kuba xa niphila ngokwenyama, niza kufa; ke ukuba niyazibulala ngoMoya, zife iintlondi zomzimba, nophila.
14 Kuba bonke abakhokelwa nguMoya kaThixo, bangoonyana bakaThixo abo.
15 Kuba anamkelanga moya wabukhoboka, ukuba nibuye noyike; namkéle umoya wokwenziwa oonyana, esidanduluka ngawo sithi, Abha,* Bawo.
16 UMoya ngokwakhe ungqinelana nomoya wethu, ukuba singabantwana bakaThixo.
17 Ukuba ke singabantwana, sikwaziindlalifa; iindlalifa zikaThixo, iindlalifa ke kunye noKristu; ukuba okunene siva ubunzima kunye naye, ukuze sizukiswe nokuzukiswa kunye naye.
18 Kuba ndigqiba kwelithi, iintlungu zeli xesha lakalokunje azinakulinganiswa nobuqaqawuli obu buza kutyhilwa kuthi.
