1Ngokuba siyazi ukuthi uma indlu yethu yasemhlabeni eyidokodo idilizwa, sinesakhiwo esivela kuNkulunkulu, indlu engenziwanga ngezandla, eyaphakade, esezulwini.

2Ngokuba kulokhu siyabubula, silangazelela ukwembeswa indlu yethu evela ezulwini;

3uma-ke sembethe, asiyikufunyanwa sinqunu.

4Ngokuba thina esikuleli dokodo siyabubula sisindwa;

5Kepha yena owasenzela khona lokho nguNkulunkulu, owasipha futhi isibambiso sikaMoya.

6Ngakho sihlala sinesibindi, sazi ukuthi, nxa sisekhaya emzimbeni, sikude neNkosi;

7(Ngoba sihamba ngokukholwa, hatshi ngokubona;)

8Sinesibindi, ngithi, sithanda kakhulu ukuba kude nomzimba, sibe khona neNkosi.

9Ngakho sisebenza nzima ukuthi, loba sikhona kumbe singekho, sibe ngabamukelekayo kuye.

10Ngokuba sonke simelwe ukubonakala phambi kwesihlalo sokwahlulela sikaKristu; ukuze yilowo nalowo amukele izinto ezenziwe ngomzimba wakhe, njengalokho akwenzileyo, noma kuhle noma kubi.

11Ngakho lokhu sikwazi ukwesabeka kweNkosi, siyabancenga abantu; kodwa sibonakalisiwe kuNkulunkulu; futhi ngiyethemba ukuthi nakunembeza wenu sibonakalisiwe.

12Ngokuba asizincomi futhi kini, kodwa sininika ithuba lokuzibonga ngathi, ukuze nibe nakho ukuphendula abazibongayo ngokusemehlweni kungeyisikho ngenhliziyo.

13Ngokuba noma siyahlanya, kungenxa kaNkulunkulu; noma sisangulukile, kungenxa yenu.

14Ngokuba uthando lukaKristu luyasiqhubezela; ngokuba sibona kanje, ukuthi munye wafela bonke, khona-ke bonke bafile;

15Futhi wafela bonke, ukuze abaphilayo bangabe besaziphilela bona, kodwa baphilele yena owabafela, wabuye wavuka.

16Ngakho-ke kusukela manje asisazi muntu ngokwenyama; yebo, noma sesimazi uKristu ngokwenyama, nokho kusukela manje asisamazi.

17Ngakho uma umuntu ekuKristu, uyisidalwa esisha; bheka, sekuvele okusha.

18Zonke izinto zivela kuNkulunkulu, owasenza ukuba sibuyisane naye ngoKristu, wasinika inkonzo yokubuyisana;

19okuwukuthi uNkulunkulu ekuKristu, enza izwe libuyisane naye, engababaleli iziphambeko zabo; futhi ubeke kithi izwi lokubuyisana.

20Ngakho singamanxusa kaKristu ngokungathi uNkulunkulu unxusa ngathi;

21Ngokuba yena ongasazi isono wamenza isono esikhundleni sethu; ukuze senziwe ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu kuye.
