← Chapter 4 Jump to: Chapter 6 →

1Ngakho manini liqine enkululekweni uKristu asikhulula ngayo, lingabuyi libotshelwe futhi ejogweni lobugqili.

2Khangelani, mina Pawuli ngithi kini, uba lisokwa, uKristu kayikulisiza ngalutho.

3Ngiyafakaza-ke futhi kumuntu wonke osokwayo, ukuthi ulomlandu wokwenza umlayo wonke.

4Likhutshiwe kuKristu, elilungisiswa ngomlayo; liwile emuseni.

5Ngoba thina ngoMoya silindele ngokholo ithemba lokulunga.

6Ngoba kuKristu Jesu ukusoka kumbe ukungasoki kakulamandla, kodwa ukholo olusebenza ngothando.

7Beligijima kuhle; ngubani olivimbele ukuthi lingalaleli iqiniso?

8Lokhukuhuga kakuveli kolibizayo.

9Imvubelo eyingcosana ibilisa inhlama yonke.

10Mina ngilethemba ngani eNkosini, ukuthi kaliyikunakana okwehlukeneyo; kodwa lowo olihluphayo uzathwala isigwebo, loba engubani.

11Kodwa mina, bazalwane, uba ngisatshumayela ukusoka, ngisazingelelwani? Ngakho isikhubekiso sesiphambano sisusiwe.

12Sengathi abalihluphayo bangazithena labo.

13Ngoba lina labizelwa enkululekweni, bazalwane; kuphela lingenzi inkululeko ibe lithuba enyameni, kodwa ngothando sizanani.

14Ngoba umlayo wonke ugcwaliseka elizwini linye, kulokhu ukuthi: Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzi thanda wena.

15Kodwa uba lilumana lidlana, qaphelani ukuthi lingaqedwa omunye ngomunye.

16Kodwa ngithi: Hambani ngoMoya, lingagcwalisi lakanye inkanuko zenyama.

17Ngoba inyama ikhanuka okuphambene loMoya, loMoya okuphambene lenyama; njalo lezizinto ziphambene, ukuze lingenzi izinto elizifunayo.

18Kodwa uba likhokhelwa nguMoya, kalikho ngaphansi komlayo.

19Imisebenzi yenyama-ke isobala, eyi le: Ukufeba, ukuphinga, ukungcola, amanyala,

20ukukhonza izithombe, ukuthakatha, ubutha, inkani, umona, ulaka, ukubanga, ukuxabana, ukubhazuka,

21umhawu, ukubulala, ukudakwa, ukuminza, lezinye izinto ezinjalo; engilitshela ngakho ngaphambili, njengoba ngatsho futhi ngaphambili, ukuthi abenza izinto ezinje kabayikulidla ilifa lombuso kaNkulunkulu.

22Kodwa isithelo sikaMoya luthando, intokozo, ukuthula, ukubekezela, ububele, ukulunga, ukholo,

23ubumnene, ukuzithiba; kokunje kakulamlayo.

24Kodwa abakaKristu babethele inyama kanye lokuhugeka lezinkanuko.

25Uba siphila ngoMoya, njalo asihambe ngoMoya.

26Kasingazikhukhumezi, siqalane, sifelane umona.
