17 Ngokuba umbuso kaNkulunkulu awusikho ukudla nokuphuza kepha ungukulunga, nokuthula, nokuthokoza eMoyeni oNgcwele,
18 ngokuba okhonza uKristu kulokhu uthandekile kuNkulunkulu, ukholekile kubantu.
19 Ngalokho-ke asijonge okokuthula nokokwakhana.
20 Ungawuchithi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ngenxa yokudla. Konke kuhlanzekile, kepha kubi kulowo muntu okudla ekhubeka.
21 Kuhle ukungayidli inyama nokungaliphuzi iwayini noma okunye umzalwane wakho aqhuzuka ngakho.
22 Ukukholwa onakho, yiba nakho ngokwakho phambi kukaNkulunkulu. Ubusisiwe ongazahluleli ngalokho akukhethayo;
23 kepha ongabazayo, nxa edla, ulahliwe, ngokuba kungengokukholwa; konke okungaveli ekukholweni kuyisono.
