18 Ngokuba bekhuluma udwadwa, amazwi ayize, babayenga ngezinkanuko zenyama nangamanyala labo abasaphephayo abahamba ngokuduka;
19 bebathembisa inkululeko, kanti bona uqobo lwabo bayizigqila zokubhubha; ngokuba lokho umuntu ahlulwa yikho uyisigqila sakho.
20 Ngokuba uma bebuye bahilelwe, bahlulwe yikho, sebebalekele ukungcola kwezwe ngokuyazi iNkosi noMsindisi uJesu Kristu, khona ukugcina kwabo kubi kunokuqala.
21 Ngokuba ngabe kwaba ngcono kubo ukuba babengayazanga indlela yokulunga kunokuba kuthi sebayazile bafulathele umyalo ongcwele ababewunikeziwe.
22 Kubehlele njengokwesaga esiqinisileyo esithi: “Inja yabuyela ebuhlanzweni bayo,” nokuthi: “Ingulube igezwe qede yaphindela ukuzibhixa odakeni.”
