1Akube yilowo nalowo azithobe phansi kwamandla ombuso; Ngoba awekho amandla ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu: amandla akhona amiswe nguNkulunkulu.

2Ngakho-ke omelana namandla umelana nesimiso sikaNkulunkulu;

3Ngokuba ababusi kabesabeki kwabenza okuhle, kodwa kwabenza okubi. Pho, awuwesabi amandla na? yenza okuhle, futhi uyakuba nodumo yikho;

4Ngokuba uyisikhonzi sikaNkulunkulu kuwe kube kuhle. Kepha uma wenza okubi, yesaba; ngokuba ayiphatheli ize inkemba, ngokuba iyisikhonzi sikaNkulunkulu, umphindiseli wokubuyisela ulaka kowenza okubi.

5Ngakho-ke kufanele ukuzithoba, kungabi ngenxa yolaka kuphela, kodwa nangenxa kanembeza.

6Ngokuba ngenxa yalokho nithela futhi, ngokuba bayizikhonzi zikaNkulunkulu ezikhuthalela khona lokho.

7Nikani bonke okubafaneleyo; inkokhiso kubani; ukwesaba kokwesabayo; udumo kubani ukudunyiswa.

8Ningakweleti muntu, kuphela elokuthandana, ngokuba othanda omunye uwugcwalisile umthetho.

9Ngoba lokhu ukuthi: Ungaphingi, ungabulali, ungebi, ungafakazi amanga, ungafi; uma kukhona omunye umyalo, kufinyelelwe kuleli zwi lokuthi: Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena.

10Uthando kalwenzi okubi kumakhelwane;

11Nalokho nisazi isikhathi ukuthi sekuyihora lokuvuka ebuthongweni;

12Ubusuku budlulile, usuku selusondele; ngakho-ke asilahle imisebenzi yobumnyama, sihlome izikhali zokukhanya.

13Masihambe ngokufaneleyo njengasemini; kungabi ngokuzitika ngokuminza nokudakwa, kungabi ngamanyala namanyala, kungabi ngokuxabana nomhawu.

14Kepha yembathani iNkosi uJesu Kristu, ningakhathaleli inyama ukuba nifeze izinkanuko zayo.
