1 Ngakho ngiyanincenga, bazalwane, ngobubele bukaNkulunkulu ukuba ninikele imizimba yenu ibe ngumnikelo ophilileyo, ongcwele, othandeka kuNkulunkulu, kube ngukukhonza kwenu kokuqonda;
2 ningalingisi leli zwe, kodwa niguqulwe isimo ngokwenziwa ibe ntsha ingqondo yenu, ukuze nibe nokuhlolisisa okuyintando kaNkulunkulu, okuhle, nokuthandekayo, nokupheleleyo.
3 Ngokuba ngomusa engiwuphiweyo ngisho kulowo nalowo phakathi kwenu ukuthi angacabangi athi mkhulu kunalokho afanele ukukucabanga, kodwa acabange kube ngokuqonda, njengalokho uNkulunkulu abele lowo nalowo isilinganiso sokukholwa.
4 Ngokuba njengalokhu sinezitho eziningi emzimbeni munye, kepha izitho zonke azinamsebenzi munye,
5 kanjalo thina esibaningi simzimba munye kuKristu, kepha ngabanye siyizitho, omunye esomunye.
6 Sinezipho zomusa ezahlukileyo ngokomusa esiwuphiweyo; uma singesokuprofetha, asiprofethe ngesilinganiso sokukholwa;
