1Izipi nokuphambana kuvelaphi hlangana nani na? Akuveli eenkanukweni zenu ezilwa njalo nani na?

2Niyafisa kodwana anifumani ilitho; ngalokho niyabulala. Nifuna izinto kodwana anizifikeleli, ngalokho niyararana nilwe. Aninalitho ngombana anibawi.

3Niyabawa ningaphiwa ngombana nibawa kumbi kobana nithokozise iinkanuko zenu.

4Nina nhlobongi, anazi bona ukuthanda iphasi kububutha kuZimu na? Ngalokho okhanuka bona abe mngani wephasi, uzenza isitha sakaZimu.

5Kghani nidlumbana bona kulilize lokho okutjhiwo mtlolo nawuthi “uMoya uZimu ambeke bona ahlale kithi, unesikhwele” na?

6Kodwana upha umusa ngokweqileko, ngalokho umtlolo uthi: “UZimu ujamelana nabazikhukhumezako, kodwana abazithobako ubapha umusa.”

7Nje-ke zithobeni kuZimu, nijamelane noSathana, uzanibaleka.

8Tjhidelani kuZimu naye uzakutjhidela kini. Hlambani izandla zenu nina zoni, nihlambulule iinhliziyo zenu nina beenhliziyo ezimbili.

9Tshwenyekani, nidabuke, nilile; ukuhleka kwenu akuphenduke isililo nokuthaba kwenu kube kudana.

10Zithobeni phambi kweKosi, yona-ke izaniphakamisa.

11Ningahlebani bazalwana. Loyo ohleba umzalwana namkha amgwebe umzalwana, uhleba umthetho, agwebe umthetho. Nangabe ugweba umthetho, awusuye umenzi womthetho, kodwana umugwebi wawo.

12Munye obetha umthetho, benguye omugwebi onamandla wokusindisa nokurhayila. Kodwana wena ungubani bona ungagweba umfowenu na?

13Lalelani-ke nina enithi: “Namhlanjesi namkha kusasa sizakuya edorobheni leli namkha kileliya, sihlale umnyaka sirhwebe, sifumane inzuzo.”

14Anilazi ikusasa. Alo, kuyini ukuphila kwenu na? Niyikungu evela ibonakale isikhatjhana bese iyanyamalala.

15Yeke, kufuze nithi: “USomnini nakathandako, sizakuphila bese senza lokhu nalokhuya.”

16Kunalokho niyazikhukhumeza ekuzigabaziseni kwenu; koke ukuzigabazisa okunjalo kumbi.

17Okwaziko ukwenza okuhle ahluleke ukukwenza, uyona.
