9 akuveli ngemisebenzi, ukuze kungabikho ozibongayo.
10 Ngokuba singumsebenzi wakhe kuKristu Jesu, sidalelwe imisebenzi emihle ayilungisela ngaphambili uNkulunkulu ukuba sihambe kuyo.
11 Ngakho khumbulani ukuthi nina enanikade ningabezizwe ngokwenyama, ababizwa ngokuthi abangasoki yilabo ababizwa ngokuthi abokusoka, okwenziwa ngezandla enyameni,
12 ukuthi ngaleso sikhathi naningenaye uKristu, naningaphandle kombuso ka-Israyeli, naningabafokazi ezivumelwaneni zesithembiso, ningenathemba, ningenaNkulunkulu ezweni.
13 Kepha manje kuKristu Jesu nina enanikade nikude senenziwe abaseduze ngegazi likaKristu.
14 Ngokuba yena ungukuthula kwethu, owenza kokubili kwaba kunye, nowabhidliza udonga olwahlukanisayo olungubutha,
