← Chapter 4 Jump to: Chapter 6 →

1Ngakho banini ngabalandeli bakaNkulunkulu, njengabantwana abathandekayo;

2njalo lihambe ethandweni.

3Kodwa ubufebe, njengoba kufanele abangcwele;

4lamanyala; kodwa kulalokhu, ukubonga.

5Ngoba lokhu liyakwazi, ukuthi sonke isifebe embusweni kaKristu lokaNkulunkulu.

6Kakungabi lamuntu olikhohlisayo ngamazwi ayize.

7Ngakho lingabi ngabahlanganyeli labo.

8Ngoba lake laba

9ngoba isithelo sikaMoya,

11njalo lingahlanganyeli;

12ngoba izinto ezenziwa yibo ekusithekeni, kuthelela inhloni ngitsho ukukhuluma ngazo.

13Kodwa konke okusolwayo yikukhanya kuyabonakaliswa; ngoba konke okubonakaliswayo kuyikukhanya,

14ngakho uthi: Phaphama wena oleleyo.

15Ngakho qaphelani ukuthi lihamba,

17Ngakho lingabi yizithutha.

18Njalo lingadakwa liwayini,

19likhulumisana,

20limbonga njalo uNkulunkulu loBaba ngazo zonke izinto,

21lizehlisela ngaphansi omunye komunye ekumesabeni uNkulunkulu.

23ngoba indoda iyinhloko yomfazi.

24Kodwa njengoba-ke ibandla lehliselwe ngaphansi kukaKristu, ngokunjalo labafazi kwawabo amadoda kuyo yonke into.

26ukuze azingcwelisele,

27ukuze azimisele lona, ibandla elilenkazimulo.

28Ngokunjalo amadoda afanele ukuthanda abawo abafazi njengeyawo imizimba. Othanda owakhe umfazi, uyazithanda yena;

29ngoba kakho owake wazonda eyakhe inyama, kodwa uya y ondla ayiphathe kuhle, njengalokhu leNkosi isenzaku bandla;

30ngoba siyizitho zomzimba wakhe, okwenyama yakhe lokwamathambo akhe.

31Ngenxa yalokhu umuntu uzatshiya uyise lonina anamathele kumkakhe.

32Inkulu le imfihlo; kodwa mina ngikhuluma.

33Ngalokho lonke ngokukhethekileyo lani-ke, ngulowo lalowo kathande ngokunjalo owakhe umfazi njengaye indoda.
