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;
7 uma singesokukhonza, kube senkonzweni; ofundisayo, kube sekufundiseni,
8 oyalayo, ekuyaleni; owabayo, enze ngobuqotho; oholayo, ngenkuthalo; ohawukelayo, ngentokozo.
