1 Maqondana nalokho enaloba ngakho, kuhle kumuntu ukuba angamthinti owesifazane.
2 Kepha ngenxa yobufebe akube yilowo nalowo abe nowakhe umfazi, nalowo wesifazane abe neyakhe indoda.
3 Indoda ayinike umfazi okumfaneleyo; nomfazi enze njalo endodeni.
4 Umfazi kanamandla phezu kowakhe umzimba, kodwa yindoda enawo; kanjalo nayo indoda ayinamandla phezu kowayo umzimba, kodwa ngumfazi onawo.
5 Ningagodlelani, kuphela kube ngokwesikhathi ngokuvumelana ukuba nithole ithuba lokukhuleka, nibuye nibe ndawonye, ukuze uSathane anganiyengi ngokungazibambi kwenu.
6 Lokho ngikusho ngemvume, angikusho ngomyalo.
7 Nokho ngingathanda ukuba abantu bonke babe njengami; kepha yilowo nalowo unesakhe isiphiwo somusa esivela kuNkulunkulu, omunye kanje, omunye kanje.
