17 uMoya wenyaniso, lowo lingenako ihlabathi ukumamkela, ngokuba lingamboni, lingamazi nokumazi. Nina ke niyamazi; ngokuba uhleli nani, kanjalo uya kuba kuni.
18 Andiyi kunishiya niziinkedama, ndiyeza kuni.
19 Liselilifutshane ixesha, ukuze ihlabathi lingabi sandibona; ke nina niyandibona; ngokuba ndisidla ubomi mna, nani niya kudla ubomi.
20 Ngaloo mini niya kwazi nina ukuba ndikuye uBawo, nani nikum, nam ndikuni.
21 Lowo unayo imithetho yam ayigcine, nguye ondithandayo; lowo ke undithandayo, uya kuthandwa nguBawo; nam ndiya kumthanda, ndizibonakalalise kuye.
22 Athi kuye uYuda (ingenguye uSikariyoti), Nkosi, kutheni na, le nto uza kuzibonakalalisa kuthi, ungazibonakalalisi kulo ihlabathi?
23 Waphendula uYesu wathi kuye, Ukuba umntu uyandithanda, woligcina ilizwi lam; wothi uBawo amthande, size kuye, sihlale naye.
