4 ngokuba uyisikhonzi sikaNkulunkulu, kube kuhle kuwe. Kepha uma wenza okubi, yesaba; ngokuba awuyiphatheli ize inkemba; ngokuba uyisikhonzi sikaNkulunkulu, umphindiseli wokwehlisela ulaka kowenza okubi.
5 Ngalokho kuswelekile ukuwuthobela, kungabi kuphela ngenxa yolaka kodwa nangenxa kanembeza.
6 Ngokuba ngenxa yalokho nikhipha intela; ngokuba bayizikhonzi zikaNkulunkulu ezikhuthalela khona lokho.
7 Nikani bonke okubafaneleyo: intela kofanele intela, inkokhiso kofanele inkokhiso, ukwesaba kofanele ukwesatshwa, udumo kofanele udumo.
8 Ningabi nacala lani nakubani, kuphela elokuthandana; ngokuba othanda omunye uwugcwalisile umthetho.
9 Ngokuba lokhu ukuthi: “Ungaphingi, ungabulali, ungebi, ungafisi,” noma ukhona omunye umyalelo, kuyahlanganiswa kuleli zwi elithi: “Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena.”
10 Uthando alwenzi okubi kumakhelwane; ngakho-ke uthando lungukugcwaliseka komthetho.
